Ingredients

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more, room temperature, for bread

8 slices cranberry-walnut or country-style bread

6 ounces raclette or Gruyere, grated

4 large eggs

Kosher salt, freshly ground pepper

Truffle honey or regular honey (for serving)

Preparation

Step 1
Preheat oven to 300°F. Heat a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over medium. Butter one side of each slice of bread and place 4 slices in skillet, buttered side down. Top bread with cheese, reduce heat to low, and cook until underside is golden brown and cheese is melted, about 4 minutes.
Step 2
Top with remaining bread, buttered side up, turn sandwiches and cook until second side is golden brown, about 2 minutes. Transfer sandwiches to a rimmed baking sheet and place in oven to keep warm.
Step 3
Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack eggs into skillet; season with salt and pepper. Cook until whites are set but yolks are still runny, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Drizzle sandwiches with honey and top each with a fried egg.
