Steps:
- In a large cast-iron skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 12 to 14 minutes. Remove to a plate and set aside. Drain the grease from the skillet but do not clean. When cool enough to handle, tear the bacon slices in half.
- Meanwhile, mix the mayonnaise and hot sauce to taste in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
- Using a biscuit cutter or the rim of a glass, cut a hole in the center of each Texas toast slice.
- Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in the bacon skillet and add 2 of the Texas toast slices. Toast the bread slightly, 1 to 2 minutes. Crack an egg into the hole in each piece of toast and sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper. Cook the eggs until set on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes. Using a spatula, carefully flip the toast with the egg, season the other side and spread with the mayonnaise mixture. Top each with a slice of cheese to slightly melt and cook until the egg is the desired doneness. Remove to a cutting board and repeat with the remaining butter, toast, eggs, mayo mixture and cheese.
- To build the sandwiches, divide the bacon between 2 of the egg-in-a-hole toast pieces, on top of the cheese. Top each with some tomato slices and lettuce, then top with a remaining egg-in-a-hole toast piece. Serve immediately or wrap in foil to keep warm.
TOAD IN THE HOLE
American Toad in a hole is one of the first recipes I had my children prepare when they were learning to cook. Much easier than the European version, this fun egg-in-a-hole is sure to please. My "little ones" are now grown (and have advanced to more difficult recipes!), but this continues to be a traditional standby in my home and theirs. -Ruth Lechleiter, Breckenridge, Minnesota

Steps:
- Spread 1 side of each slice of bread with mayonnaise. Top 1 slice with American cheese and the other with pepper Jack, then sandwich them together. Cut the center out of the sandwich with a 2 1/2-inch ring mold.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl.
- Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, and swirl to coat the bottom. Arrange the inner and outer parts of the sandwich in the skillet, and cook until golden brown on the bottom, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn each over, pour the egg into the hole, sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook until the bottoms of the bread are golden brown, the egg whites are set and the yolk is still runny, 4 to 5 minutes. For the last minute of cooking, cover the pan with a lid to cook the egg white completely through. (The sandwich round may finish cooking faster.) Transfer the sandwich with the egg to a serving plate along with the sandwich round, to dip into the egg yolk.
