Ingredients

8 thick slices sourdough
8 large eggs
2 tbsp butter
¼ cup shredded cheddar
2 apples, sliced

From your pantry: salt, pepper.

Instructions

Use a 3-inch round cutter or a glass to cut a hole in the center of each bread slice. Keep the circles.
Melt half the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 4 bread slices and the circles and toast until lightly golden underneath, about 2 minutes.
Crack an egg into each hole and season with salt and pepper. Cook until the whites are set on the bottom, about 2 minutes.
Carefully flip each slice and circle, sprinkle with cheddar and cook 1 minute more for a runny yolk or 2 minutes for jammy. Repeat with the remaining butter, bread and eggs.
Serve right away with the toast circles for dipping and apple slices on the side.

Tip: Crack each egg into a small cup first, then slide it into the hole. You'll never break a yolk or get shell in the pan.
