Spinach Havarti Grilled Cheese Egg in a Hole

  • Prep Time: 10 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: as many as you like!

Ingredients

Scale

For each sandwich:

  • Two thin slices of bread (I used my white whole wheat bread)
  • Some light butter (trans-fat free)
  • A few slices of Havarti cheese
  • A bit of sun dried tomato ranch dressing (recipe here … or stir some finely chopped sun dried tomatoes into your favorite ranch)
  • Fresh baby spinach leaves
  • 1 large egg

Instructions

  1. Stack the bread slices on top of each other and use a cookie cutter or biscuit cutter to cut a hole in the center of the bread. Save the bread from the hole to make a side-kick grilled cheese.
  2. Lightly butter the bottom half of the bread and one of the holes and set it butter side down in a medium/large frying pan. Spread the top of the bread in the pan lightly with sun dried tomato ranch dressing, then arrange bits of Havarti cheese around the bread to cover. I had to break my Havarti slices up to fit the bread. Do the same with one of the bread “holes”.
  3. Arrange baby spinach leaves on top of the cheese, then top with the other slice of bread. Lightly butter the top of the bread. Do the same with the side-kick grilled cheese.
  4. Cover the pan and heat over medium heat briefly, then reduce heat to medium low. Check the bottom of the bread by lifting gently with a spatula; when it’s starting to turn golden, crack the egg into the hole and sprinkle with Red Robin Seasoning (or salt) & freshly ground pepper. Cover and let cook, checking frequently, until the egg is set on the bottom, the cheese is melty and the bread is nicely browned on the bottom.
  5. Use a spatula to flip over the bread and the side-kick sandwich. Let cook for a few minutes more until the bread is browned on the other side.
  6. Remove the sandwiches from the pan with a spatula and slide onto a plate. Serve on baby spinach leaves if you like.
