Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp. butter, divided
  • 1 inch-thick slice of bread
  • 1 egg
  • 2 - 3 slices bologna
  • 1 - 3 slices ripe tomato
  • 1 - 2 slices Havarti cheese, or other melting cheese of your choice
  • freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat broiler on high.
  2. Cut a rectangle out of the middle of the bread, approximately 1 inch by 2 inches.
  3. In a large skillet, melt 1/2 tbsp. butter on medium heat, swirling the butter around to cover the surface of the pan.
  4. Once butter is sizzling, add the bread to the pan. Crack the egg into the hole in the bread.
  5. Cook for approximately 2 minutes. If you prefer your egg less runny, add 1 - 2 additional minutes to the cooking time, but be sure to peek under the bread during cooking and if it's getting too brown, turn heat down.
  6. Using a spatula, flip the bread over, making sure the bread lands on the side of the pan rather than the middle.
  7. Add the remaining 1/2 tbsp. butter to the empty space in the pan. Add bologna and tomato slices to the pan. Cook bread, bologna and tomato for 2 minutes. Flip bologna and tomato during cooking time to ensure even browning. Turn down heat if they are browning too fast.
  8. Remove bread to an oven-safe tray. Add tomato slices on top of the bread, then pile on the bologna. Top with cheese slice(s). Broil for 2 - 3 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and slightly brown. Watch carefully during broiling to avoid burning.
  9. Remove from tray onto a serving plate. Top with freshly ground black pepper and serve immediately.
