  3. Crack 1 large egg into each hollowed-out bread slice.
  4. Season each egg with a pinch of salt and 4-6 drops of your favorite hot sauce.
  5. Top each egg nest with 1 tablespoon of shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
