Break an egg into "nest" hole in bread slices.

Sprinkle on taco cheese.

When egg has set and bread bottoms are golden brown, using 2 spatulas, invert bread slices, taking care to keep cheese beneath slices.

(If it spills out, just tuck it back in. Depending on your griddle, you may want to respray Pam when you lift a slice up just before you turn it over and replace it on griddle. Then you won't have any trouble getting it off the griddle when it's done.)

When second side of slices has turned crispy, invert onto places and garnish with fruit, bacon or ham slices.
