Instructions

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).
Prepare the bread slices by hollowing out the center slightly, creating a nest-like shape. Place them on a baking sheet.
Dot each bread nest with butter.
Carefully break one egg into each bread nest.
Season with salt to taste.
Add 4-6 drops of Tabasco sauce (adjust to your spice preference) on each egg.
Cover each egg with grated cheddar cheese.
Bake in the preheated oven until the eggs are set, typically about 15-18 minutes. The whites should be fully cooked, and the yolks can be cooked to your desired doneness.
Serve immediately, optionally garnished with chopped herbs or additional hot sauce.

Tips and Variations

Variations: Experiment with different types of bread for varying textures and flavors.
Additions: Consider adding cooked bacon or diced vegetables for added flavor and texture.
Storage: Best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated briefly in the oven or microwave.
