Select Griddle and preheat to 350°F with the unit closed. Open to extend flat. Arrange bacon, Canadian bacon, or sausage on grill plate and begin cooking. While meat is cooking, brush both sides of each slice of bread with 2 teaspoons of the melted butter. Use a 3-inch round or square cookie cutter to cut a center out of each slice of bread. After meat has been cooking for 7 to 8 minutes, turn. Arrange buttered bread and cut-out centers on hot griddle plate. Let cook for 4 to 5 minutes until lightly golden brown and toasted. Turn. Add ½ teaspoon unsalted butter to the griddle plate in the open center of each slice of bread. Break an egg into the center of each slice of bread. Let cook until whites are firm, about 4 to 5 minutes. If desired, carefully turn using a nonstick heat resistant spatula. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes, to desired preference. Transfer to warmed plates. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. Drain bacon or sausage on double layer of paper towels. Slice griddle toasted cut-out "center" of bread in half and use for dipping.
