The Fried Jack

I love this one.  It is slightly more complicated that boiling an egg, but not by much.

Before you start cooking, you will need the following:  two eggs, two pieces of toast, one handfull of shredded swiss cheese, one frying pan and a toaster.

Step 1:  Toast your two pieces of bread.  Once that is done, cut a hole in the center of each one.  The hole should be about two inches across.

Step 2:  Put the toast in the frying pan.  Break an egg into each hole in the toasts.  When the egg looks fairly well done, turn to cook the other side.

Step 3:  Remove the toasts with the eggs cooked in their centers.  This, by itself, is called a One-Eyed Jack.

Now for the magic.

Step 4:  Spread the shredded cheese onto the pan.  The shredded cheese should be formed into two shaped piles, each about the size of the toast.

Step 5: Place the toast on top of the frying cheese and wait.  After only a couple of minutes, you will see the cheese start to change color, becoming dark.  When this happens, you should find that you can slide a spatula easily underneath.  If you find the cheese "smooshes up" when you do this, then it's not cooked enough yet.

Step 6:  Remove, cool and eat.

I've tried this with different types of cheese and it's just not as good.  This is true even though I'm not a Swiss cheese fan.
