Or, if it has already been invented, what’s it called? Butter in small frying pan, when melted and foamy add an egg. Add shredded smoked Gouda over top, cover and cook until the yolk is thick and creamy but still runny. Place on bread (Italian or Cuban works well) and pierce the yolk and the bread so the yolk can run into the bread. Top with salt and pepper or sriracha. Sure it’s a fried egg on bread but it is a super great fried egg on bread that I’ve been making for lunch whenever I have to actually cook my own lunch. How 'bout calling them Huevos Big Girl? Nah, there’s gotta be a more fun and creative name than that. Do any of you have a go to quick fix meal for lunch that you made up? I’d love to see 'em so I can try them out. Also, don’t forget a fancy name! ---

_Oeufs sur pain grillé_. It’s an old French farmhouse dish. ---

After actually looking it up, Oeufs sur pain grille is plain old eggs on toast. There isn’t any cheese and I don’t toast my bread. ---

If you’d put some ham on the bread before adding the egg, it’d be what we call Strammer Max in Germany. ---

Place on bread (Italian or Cuban works well) and pierce the yolk and the bread so the yolk can run into the bread. Top with salt and pepper or sriracha. Ah, yes, the traditional French dish “Le beurre dans une petite poêle, lorsque fondu et mousseuse ajouter un oeuf. Ajouter le Gouda fumé râpé par-dessus, couvercle et faire cuire jusqu’à ce que le jaune soit épais et crémeux mais encore liquide. Placer le pain (italien ou cubain fonctionne bien) et percer le jaune et le pain alors le jaune d’oeuf peut courir dans le pain. Saupoudrez de sel et de poivre ou de sriracha.” The name is a bit of a mouthful, but very descriptive. ---

One often names a dish after it’s point of origin. The OP does not exactly list her location, so: _Hua i konei_. Why not name something in Maori??? ---
