Brioche Egg in a hole Sandwich

Delicious breakfast sandwich with loads of spinach, a little bit sweet & savory. Perfect for the leftover brioche bread from French toast the morning before.

Ingredients:

• 4 slices brioche bread

• 2 tablespoons salted butter, room temp.

• 2-4 eggs

• ½ cup Monterey Jack cheese

• 2 cups spinach, packed

• Salt & pepper

• Avocado, optional

Steps:

Heat a skillet over medium-low heat. Spread butter over one side of a brioche bread slice. Using a knife, cut a hole in one slice of bread. Add the two bread slices to the heated skillet and toast for 1 minute. Crack an egg into the slice of bread with a hole in it. Season gently with salt and pepper. Continue to cook for 2 minutes. Flip both bread slices. Sprinkle the tops of the bread with ¼ cup cheese and continue to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes.

Once the egg is cooked to the desired level of doneness and cheese is just melted, remove from heat. Add 1 cup of spinach on top of the melted cheese and close the sandwich. 

Repeat steps for the other sandwich. 

Optional: add sliced avocado to freshly cooked sandwich.
