Grilled Cheese Egg in a Melba Hole.

I love grill cheese, and I love eggs. 

Grill cheese should have a good cheese to break ratio (moar cheese is better). 

I also like having the choice to have a light snack (well, as light a snack as a grill cheese with a fried egg in the middle can be).  

This is a grill cheese with ONE slice of bread, a LOT of cheese, and a fried egg in the middle. 

Fried it for too long. I prefer it with a runny yolk












Ingredients for Grilled Cheese Egg in a Melba Hole. 
Bread 1 Slice
Young melty  cheese, American, Gruyere, Mozzarella, Provolone, Gouda 1 slice
Flavorful cheese , e.g. Chedder, Parmesan Parmigiano-Reggiano,  30g / 1 oz, shredded
Egg 1
Oil, or butter.  4g or 1 teaspoon if using non-stick pan
More if you like, or have a sticky pan
Black Pepper, other herbs     Optional




                

Equipment
Oven
Frying Pan, 
Serrated Knife
Paring Knife
Spatula Or any flipping instrument





COOKING

1) Lightly toast the bread

2) Slice it crossways, using the serrated knife. 



3) Place cheese, while it is hot. Crack some pepper, or paprika if you like. 



4) Cut a hole in the middle. Use a sharp knife, and be gentle with it. The melty cheese will help hold your egg together. 



5) Place in your frying pan, over a medium flame. 

6) Drop a piece of butter into the hole, or squirt some oil into the hole. 

7) Drop the egg into the hole. I prefer to crack my egg into a bowl first, this makes it easier to slide the egg into the hole, and also lets me check that my egg is ok. 



8) After a minute or two, flip. 

9) Prod the middle of the egg, and see if it's wobbly. Decide how "done" you like your egg. 



10) Remove and serve. Sprinkle black pepper / paprika if you like.
