We always called it a Toad in a Hole. But we'd always stack ham and cheese over it with the bread piece on the very top. My father was always excited to make them for everyone on the weekends.
Toad in a hole is sausage in a pie dough, but it seems that name was reused in a limited number of us regions. Egg+bread is egg in a nest in pretty much all other UK colonized regions and in the UK.
Thanks. I'm trying to do a bit more with my presentation. There's a balance between pretty and not enough food and this teeters right on the edge of that in my opinion.
I've just never really understood these at all. The egg/bread ratio in each bite is just off. I'd rather just put the egg on top of the toast and enjoy egg + toast in every bite. What am I missing?
Yeah considering the effort I'll end up just making a poached egg on toast the next time around. I can punch circles out of toast and be fancy without sacrificing flavor.
It broke when I flipped things but it was still jammy inside! Next time I think I'll toast one side of the bread, flip it, then break my egg in and cook things covered so I'm not having to flip things.
I'd rather die, than give you control
Egg in a hole
Buttered and gold
I'd rather die
Than eat it while cold
Weird Al wants to know your location
Also the name of my favorite Nine Inch Nails song.
Looks great!
Lol my brain automatically said, “I’d rather die than give you control” after reading this title

My family called these bird nests
One-eyed Jack was what my father called it.
Ooh, I do like that name as well.
This is what my Dad called it and you are the first person I've ever heard besides him do it.
I wonder if it's regional, are you from NY/New England area?
Sometimes he would also call it "Frog in a Log" but that could have just been him being goofy.
The "official" name I've heard since then is Eggs in a Basket.

In the UK toad in the hole is sausages in Yorkshire pudding.
Yep not sure why I said pie dough, this is what happens when I Lemmy before coffee
If you're not familiar with yorkshire pudding, you might mistake it for pie crust.
We called it “eggs in the basket”
I grew up with "egg in a nest."
Yeah, Eastern Seaboard. Could be Regional.
Growing up in New England we called them “egg with a hat”
That's one glamorous bread hole

I think berries deserve to be in an abundant glistening pile! Two sliced berries is a pretty decoration but leaves me feeling a little sad.
Are you just farming downvotes in a place that doesn’t count them?
We like to call this Bregg in my house but our doesn't look this fancy. It looks great, although the cut berries seems a little extra.
I grew up in the Midwest US and we called this a "Gashouse". No idea why.
I also don't know why I grew up in the midwest, but I generally regret it.
(We called it toad in a hole, sausage in croissant dough was pigs in a blanket).
We call this "hobo bread" lol. Good stuff
Popeye toast!
Egg in toast.
Aha I love what you did with the "hole" - I usually just lay it back on top of the egg
I make it into garlic bread because why not?
Toad in the hole.... uncultured heathen!
I saw someone on Mastodon call it that. You are both a disgrace (sorry). This is toad in the hole (sausages baked in Yorkshire pudding).
Let me tell you what! I'm 'merican and we ain't gotta make sense of these here thangs.
pirate's eye.... lubberly scallywag!
You shut your fuckin philistine mouth
Eggy in a basket?
It was always just called 'egg in a basket' in my family.
I'll allow it.

You're not missing anything. It's for children.

Magnificent! What kind of bread is that?
Thank you!! It's from the country sourdough loaf I posted yesterday!
Absolutely delicious-looking bread. That’s on my list to try to make, now that I’ve got a nice stand mixer. You killed it!
Take it easy on the sides, buddy
I’m not sure I should’ve asked for this.
Nicest one of these I've ever seen tbh
Pretty but that yolk better not be overcooked!
It broke when I flipped things but it was still jammy inside! Next time I think I'll toast one side of the bread, flip it, then break my egg in and cook things covered so I'm not having to flip things.
Looks like the yolk broke while cooking. Some people don't like runny yolks, so it might have been intentional.
This is a BEATIFUL dish. I do think more berries would work, but it's a hard to argue with the very nicely balanced and striking presentation.
It screams for a strong berry mimosa accoutrement! 😁
