Edit: (What do you call this dish?)
Edit: (Slice of bread with a hole cut in the middle and an egg fried in it.) I have always called them daddy-o eggs but I have recently been informed that is incorrect.-

Egg in a basket
This is what we called it in my household, as well.
Eggs in a basket.
This is the answer. At least, it's the only thing I've ever heard someone not from the internet call it.
I learned this term for it from the film V for Vendetta which isn't a great source but seems more reliable than the crazy people in this thread.
Toad-in-the-hole! Maybe. We only ever had them like once, scrambled eggs were far more common.
Southeast US
New Jersey.
"Toad-in-the-hole" sounds British to me.
Edit: @[email protected] said "toad-in-the-hole" refers to something else, some other breakfast food.
Sausage in Yorkshire pudding! Unless that's called bread in the US in which case we are several layers deep into this word inception.
It's bloody delicious too.

(Just say batter, the word "pudding" will make their heads explode.)
It's batter pre-cook, pudding post-cook, and yes you're damn right it's bloody delicious.
Then what is a pancake? Same batter, but different cooking method.
AFAIA, The pudding part is because pudding referred to meat dishes long before it was used for sweet dishes, and yorkshire pudding used to be exclusively served with meat - which is likely tightly linked to the original meaning of toad in the hole!
Vancouver checking in
Not GP, but I've always called this Toad in the hole. Western USA.
Ontario Canada. Toad in the hole/egg in the hole. Piggy in a blanket is a sausage wrapped in a pancake.
Toad in the hole. Australia
I'm in Australia, we call this one with an egg "toad in a hole", I've never seen the one with a sausage.
South Georgian here, we also call it this.
Eggs in a basket, toad in a hole, one eyed jack, eggs in a nest
Isn't toad in the hood sausages in Yorkshire pudding?
"Toad in the Hood" is the gritty HBO sequel to "The Wind in the Willows" that takes place after Toad breaks out of prison.
yes.
Alabama eggs cuz it's in bread. I have usually called them egg in hole.
Suppose this is now what I call them too
Toad in a hole is what I've always heard it called
Toad in the hole is sausages in a big yorkshire pudding.
The name must have been appropriated to refer to this eggy bread meal.
To be fair, I've never heard a name for it before.
Not sure it has a "correct" name. I grew up having it called "egg in a hole," but depending on where you're from there are different names. I know people who call it "egg in a nest." Wikipedia says:
I can also attest to hearing “eggs in a basket” and “toad in a hole” growing up. My son has just dubbed the dish “egg bread” and requested it almost daily. He also calls fried eggs “dip eggs” and boiled eggs “shape eggs.” He was probably 3 when he solidified these terms, but they have all stuck, 6 years later.
Toad in a hole in the UK is a vastly different dish of sausages baked into a Yorkshire pudding
Fanny means something different there too. Ain't dialect a thing?
"Gashouse eggs" is the one I've heard most. Nice Great Depression-era ring to it.
A long-ago girlfriend made us these for breakfast, and called them glory holes. Seriously, circa 1975. She had no idea, said her family had always called them glory holes.
Did you meant to ask "What do YOU" call this dish?
Because the "correct" name probably changes every 100 miles [161km]
Yes and thank you.
Ah, then I'd call it "eggs in a hole"
No this is the most insane thing my wife calls them pigs in a blanket. I told her that's not what it's called that's something else but she refuses and is trying to have our children call it that as well. I've married a psycho.
Aren't pigs in a blanket when you wrap a sausage in a pancake? Hence, you know, pigs?
Our use of that term is a hot dog wrapped in biscuit, similar idea.
Bacon, isn't it?
It's not too late. If you crack enough eggs on her head, you might be able to scramble her brains and hard reset her.
Bregg
Bregg's it
Toad in the hole.
That's sausage in Yorkshire pudding
Brits call sausage in toast toad in the hole. On this side of the Atlantic it's egg .
We call this egg-in-the-hole, which I am just realizing is not very original, but there it is. It is also necessary to fry the bread "holes" they are a nice bonus.
This. Egg-in-a-hole is the name for it in my country.
I call it redneck egg
Why? Both are in bread
I’ve never understood this “dish” I’d pretty much 100% if the time prefer a fried egg on an in tact piece of toast.
To me it's just something fun to do when I'm bored with scrambled and over easy. Also if you use a good amount of butter in the pan, you can fry the little chunk of bread that was removed and that tastes great.
I'd call that one a 'blue plate'.
I see more green than blue, like a seafoam green.
I'm curious what others see? My wife and I have this back and forth of what's a shade of blue vs green with some things around the house. Gar as I know I'm not colour blind, but I'm aware that some people have better colour perception than others so it really does make me wonder.
100% seafoam green
I've known it as egg-in-the-nest, spoken as one word.
Unless you live with the one who corrected you, just keep calling it what you know it to be.
Mom called them egg-inna-basket.
Scoutmaster called them buckeyes.
Other scout dad called them toad-inna-hole.
Another scout called them one-eyed-jack.
I don't make them, so I don't call them anything.
Egg-in-a-Hole
Egg in a hole.
We call them Egg Hole, because it's a little bit funny and apparently we are both 12.
That is a plate.
Egg in a frame
But the bread needs to be cooked in butter like a grilled cheese.
Didn't see this one here yet: sunshine toast
"Egg in toast".
We were a creative family.
I grew up calling them egg on toast lol. We weren't only unimaginative, we couldn't even describe the food right
"Egg in bread" for us.
Eggy in a basket for sure!
Eierbrot
That’s a Robin’s nest or an eggy hole
V Toast (from the movie V for Vendeta)
"Chicken on a raft."
Sometimes called a Bird's Nest or a variation of that.
With stuff like this, there often are no 'correct' names. If you call it daddy-o eggs, that's what it's called in your house/family.
Apart from the hole, that could be chicken on a raft, an old Royal Navy dish.
Flowery!
Or Ted. You can call the dish Ted, if you want.
My family call them bird nests, but are inspired by egg in a hole.
Toad in the hole.
Or avocado toast if there's avocado spread on it too.
Toad int ole is sausages in Yorkshire pudding.
In England. In America, it's this.
I'm Texan. Can't you tell from my accent? Yeehaa!
Am I the first one to say Popeye except for the wikipedia? Crazy!
elchumabread
it looks like egg on bread
Hippo-eggs because… well… it’s a long story…
Another vouch for egg in a hole. Not to be confused with “egg toast” which is cubed and buttered toast with a soft boiled egg mixed in.
fried egg on a piece of toast
A plate? If it’s a bit deeper it could be a bowl.
Flying saucer, especially when you balance the little cut out piece of bread on top of the egg.
I would probably call it a piece of bread with an egg on it.
For some reason my wife’s family calls them “hobo eggs”
It's Showtime, Fried in the name of Bread ye not too runny.
Bunnies in a basket. North East U.S. once almost done cooking, we would put a slice of preferred cheese on top, eat like an open sandwich.
My wife introduced it to me as something her family called a “Hollywood egg” I guess due to fact you feel so glamorous eating one.
Oeuf caché
Chicken in a basket
Toast on an avocado plate
We must have been alone but we called it Egg-Toastie-O's
Haven't had it in years, but my grandfather made them all the time and called it Gas House egg.
Breaggs on a plate?
Are the eggs cooked in a hole in the center of the bread?
This sounds like a recipe request!
-put a hole in your slice of bread
-butter both sides and set the pan on medium low heat
-toast the buttered bread in the pan and season it with salt (I toast both sides because the egg cooks pretty fast.)
-put a little tab of butter into the pan in the center of the hole
-crack an egg into the hole.
-little bit of salt on the egg and wait until the whites are almost set; a little bit of cooking spray on the egg if you're unsure about the non-stickness of your pan
-flip and wait until you achieve your perfect yolk
-plate and add ground pepper or whatever you desire
I honed my technique during COVID quarantine days.
An alternative:
-toast a slice of bread in a pan with butter and salt
-soft boil an egg
-serve the egg over the toast or use an egg cup and dip slivers of the toast into the egg
Yes
"Egg in a Basket"
Pirate's Eye.
In Australia.
I am pretty sure you hid Grogu underneath that egg.
One-eyed Egyptian
Nesting eggs!
Or eggy in a basket if you're talking to Natalie Portman
We don't call it that. It's just thick toast. And the dish is toad-in-the-hole.
eta: yes I know the British toad is a different dish. Fanny means something different there too.
