For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of nutmeg or a splash of vanilla extract to the French toast batter. Feel free to experiment with different cheese combinations. Gruyere, Monterey Jack, or even a sharp provolone would work beautifully. If you don't have cooked bacon on hand, you can substitute with ham or prosciutto. Use a thin spatula to carefully flip the sandwiches to avoid breaking the egg yolk. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

01 Step
Recipe View In a mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, 1 egg, sugar, cinnamon, and salt until the batter is smooth and homogenous. (Estimated time: 2 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View Lay out 2 slices of bread on a clean work surface. On each slice, layer 1 slice of American cheese, 1 slice of Cheddar cheese, and the crumbled cooked bacon. Top with the remaining bread slices to form two complete sandwiches. Using a biscuit cutter or a 2-inch wide glass, carefully cut a hole in the center of each sandwich. (Estimated time: 5 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View Melt the unsalted butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Ensure the entire surface of the skillet is coated with butter to prevent sticking. Dip both the sandwich rings and the cut-out holes in the prepared batter, ensuring they are evenly coated on all sides. (Estimated time: 3 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View Gently place the dipped sandwich rings and the cut-out holes into the melted butter in the skillet. Immediately crack an egg into the hole of each ring. Cook until the egg white is fully set, the bread is golden brown, and the cheese is softly melted and gooey, approximately 2 minutes per side. (Estimated time: 4 minutes)
