    American

Ingredients

2 slices hearty sandwich bread

2 tablespoons butter , divided

2 eggs

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

2 slices American, cheddar, and/or Jack cheese

Directions

Cut a circle out of the center of each slice of bread using a small empty can, a biscuit cutter, or the ring from a Mason jar. Melt half of butter in a large nonstick or cast iron skillet over medium heat until foaming subsides. Add both bread slices, break an egg into each, season with salt and pepper, and cook, swirling occasionally, until bread is golden brown on bottom side, about 2 minutes. Add remaining butter and carefully flip both slices of bread, making sure the eggs don't break. Add a cheese slice to the top of each bread slice. Cook, swirling pan occasionally, until golden brown on second side. Close sandwich with cheese inside and continue to cook, flipping occasionally, until eggs are soft-cooked and cheese is melted, about 1 minute longer. Serve immediately.
