Grilled Cheese Sandwiches With Bacon, Spinach, Tomatoes, And Fried Eggs

• 6 to 8 dried tomato halves
• 2 large eggs
• About 2 1/2 tbsp. softened butter, divided
• About 1/4 tsp. kosher salt
• Freshly ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon minced flat-leaf parsley leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
• 4 slices whole-wheat bread
• 1/2 cup coarsely shredded smoked gouda cheese
• 6 slices crisp-cooked bacon
• 1/2 cup loosely packed baby spinach leaves

1. Soak tomatoes in warm water until they're very soft, 20 to 30 minutes, then dry with paper towels.
2. In a large nonstick frying pan, fry eggs in 1/2 tbsp. butter over medium heat until whites are just set. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
3. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine remaining 2 tbsp. butter, 1/4 tsp. salt, pepper to taste, the parsley, thyme, and lemon juice.
4. Transfer eggs to a plate. Spread herb butter on 1 side of each bread slice, dividing evenly. Turn 2 slices over and top with gouda, bacon, tomatoes, and spinach, dividing evenly. Top each sandwich with a fried egg and remaining bread slices, buttered sides up. Cook sandwiches until golden brown, turning once, about 8 minutes total.
