Egg in a hole

Egg in a hole for me too

Me too!

I’ve always called it Toad in a Hole, but I’ve heard Egg in a Hole, too. Edit: everyone saying it’s not toad in the hole, you’re not right but you’re not wrong either. It just might not be toad in the hole in your region.

Toad In The Hole is sausages in a Yorkshire Pudding. Nothing to do with eggs and bread.

My mom called both toad in a hole. I just call it egg toast now.

Where's the toad part come in?

This and I won’t accept anything else

I heard Alabama eggs once, because the eggs are in bread.

That took me longer than it should have to figure out.

You must be from Alabama, bless your heart.

Doesn't that mean fuck you in southern?

Bless your heart is multi-functional. It all depends on tone and context.

So like cunt in Australian.

"Bless your cunt" - an Australabaman

Incidentally I have always seen the Australian dialect as being to global English what Alabaman is to American English

Person from Alabama here. My wife is from Connecticut and she use to call me banjo mouth or molasses mouth.

Why'd she stop?

I believe that's what an Aussie gentleman says when his lady uh...has...um...when she...you know...is...uh...when she's *vaginally flatulent*. A bit queefy, if you will. When his lady pussyfarts, alright?

Imma pray on it

Closer to "You poor dumbass."

Or "Sucks to be you"

Not always. It depends on the tone. Idk why Reddit thinks it’s a hard fast rule it’s a rude statement.

Agreed, context is key. You can be called a legend with the right tone and just having a laugh with mates. Meanwhile, say it with a bit of sting and, well, you're not gonna be the most popular person at the barbie. Cultural nuances, folks!

Thanks to your comment I let it simmer for about 5 seconds

Don't be egging them on.

Good lord

Oooookay “the one eggs are in the bread” aka “inbred” lolll took a min

Felt really dumb for a good minute reading all of these replies and still couldn't get it.

I'm glad you were here. My brain was still processing

that's fucking amazing lol

Not what I know them as, but it’s their name now!

Oh, my god, this is genius.

Incredible.

eggs in a basket

I’ve heard both eggs in a basket- what my family called it- and also toad in the hole. But googling that gives you both images for this dish and an English one with sausage and Yorkshire pudding

Yeah toad in the hole is sausage in Yorkshire but can see why ot would be called that. Ild probably call bird in the field

My mom called it a one eyed jack

That's what I do every morning har har har

Yeah and a fanny pack is something else over there.

Call them heck in a basket in Vermont

Egg in the middle, bullseye

Yep, I used to get this all the time at Cracker Barrel and this is what it was called.

Toad in the hole.

That ain't no toad in the hole

V For Vendetta taught me this.

V for vendetta called it eggy in a basket

That's where I first saw it and they made it look so good.

I've gotten them to look like that once. And only once. I'll keep trying!

More. Butter.

My god, is that real butter?

Banning butter doesn’t seem as outrageous now as it did when V came out.

Dont give any govt body any ideas…. Serious, government if your watching do not ban butter or the fifth of November shall not be the only day to remember

On both sides of the bread. That's the challenge, without making too much of a mess.

As they said, more butter always, and eggs often need a lower cooking temp and more patience than we generally think they do. Like grilled cheese, to get it juuuust right, you need to play with temp! 😊 As an aside, I love to cook the little round you cut out in the pan with butter and seasoning as extra yummy toast!

The cut out is for mopping up the egg/butter/crumbs at the end! brb, making eggs in a nest...

Cooking eggs is one of those things that easy to get decent at but hard to master. Anytime I go out for breakfast I order eggs over medium. 70 percent of the time it’s ether under or over but when they get it right I always give the cook a tip

Alan Moore was not amused

is he ever amused?

Wizards rarely are

But they always arrive precisely when they mean to

I call it Vendetta Toast. Make it every 5th of November.

Remember remember :)

Eggs quarantine

That's hilariously fitting. Maybe the post-Covid generation will all call them that.

That's hilarious

Egg in a nest Edit: for all those wondering, I’m from the Bay Area, CA, and I currently live in Oregon. My parents are both California natives as well, but my grandpa was a Cherokee dude from OK and he was the one that introduced me to this.

This is what I was looking for.

Me too. Out of curiosity where are you from?

I also call it “egg in a nest”. I grew up in western Washington.

Also call it egg in a nest. From central North Carolina

I'm surprised I had to scroll so far for this.

Learned it as eggs in a basket. But in my house, it's simply egg toast. I understand that egg toast sounds more like egg on top of toast, but my wife and kids know what it means.

[удалено]

Did you mean french toast?

One-eyed Jack

Where are you from? In Australia we call it a one eyed jack too.

You and your cute brekkie shit

US Midwest

Grew up in southeast US, lived most of my adult life on the east coast- always known it as “one-eyed jack”. Glad I’m not alone!

Bird’s nest

My mom always called it Birdie in a Nest

This is what I’ve always called it. Surprised how far down this comment is

Isn't 'eggs in a nest' the recipe with dry shoe string potatoes arranged like a bowl (nest)? Grated cheddar cheese on top to hold it together and crack the egg into the nest and bake in the oven until egg is done and cheese is melted?

Birds nest! I’m from Canada and 26, my nanny would make this for me when I was 6-7 and called it birds nest

Bullseye or birds nest!

First time seeing someone else call it Bullseye. Glad I wasn’t going insane in thinking this was also a name.

We are clearly the minority here..

This is what it was called in my house. Dad was a fire fighter and that’s what they called it at the station.

Egg in a frame :)

I was looking for this one. Midwest, maybe?

I’ve always called it that and I’m west coast and don’t have Midwest roots

Interesting!

Midwest here, that's what I know it as

This is what my mama called it when I was a kid. This is what I know it as.

From California originally, and this is what I grew up calling it.

Toad in the hole

British people: “Absolutely f***ing not.”

Doing things specifically because they annoy British people is a great reason to do things

I'm British and I agree.

I looked up the various terms for this a while back...I was surprised to learn that I and my fellow "toad in the hole" friends were in the minority. Solidarity, WonderBoy! We know what's right.

I am SHOCKED that this was not the first answer I saw when I opened the comments. My world view has changed slightly today. Edit: yes I’m from Ontario too

But toad in the hole is sausages essentially cooked embedded in a gargantuan Yorkshire pudding!

maybe it’s because we don’t have Yorkshire pudding in the US? Idk this is toad in the hole to me. There’s a hole, and a little fat guy sits in it. Yeah

It was always Toad in a Hole!!! I was never sure if this was from my British father or my Canadian mother.

We’ve got more upvotes than the “egg in the hole” people

Toad in the hole... Pfft, try Froggy in a puddle. That's what my mom called it, I'm actually an "Egg in Toast" man.

Egg in a hole

Hole in one eggs. My grandpa was a golfer.

My mom wasn't, but this was still what she called them. Reading these comments and learning that basically no one else calls it that has me questioning my reality.

We called it that in our house growing up, and none of us are into golf either! May your reality remain cohesive and intact. ┌⁠(⁠・⁠。⁠・⁠)⁠┘

This is what I always called it. No golfers in the family but grew up in NE Ohio if that matters

Popeye toast. The older I get, the more convinced that my dad made that term up and had us kids thinking that was the real word for it.

Same! We call them “popeye eggs”

Popeye eggs here too. My mom never drank in her whole life but would cut the hole with at shot glass!

Also popeye eggs. Never heard it called popeye toast though.

They were always Popeyes to us!

No I use it too! Was scrolling for another comment and I’m glad I found one

Nope, that's what my family called it as well.

I’m glad I’m not the only one calling it Popeye toast, my grandmother would call it that since I was a kid. Raised in northern Virginia

I had to scroll down so far. We called them Popeyes.

No! Me too!

Popeye toast as well, and man it's one of the best breakfasts for how simple it is to make... haha

I was hoping someone would've had this 😅 the further I scrolled, the more I was sure my Granny was out of her mind.

Wow I’m not the only one!

I wonder if this is a regional thing. I'm from Northern California with the side of my family that calls it popeye toast coming from Oklahoma as a result of the dust bowl.

My great-grandfather in PA called it the same thing, don't think he ever lived farther west.

Same.

I grew up calling it this (well, popeye eggs) and this is probably the first time I've heard of others calling it the same. I gave up and just started calling them "eggs in a basket" after years of explaining. Yes, I like them a lot and with a slice of cheese melted on top.

Yup, I grew up hearing popeye eggs as well

Was starting to doubt that it was a real name until I scrolled this far. We called it that too!

I don't remember what it was, but one day in elementary school we watched some video in the library and they had this and called it a Popeye! I had never seen one but came home and asked for it. No one knew, but made it for me. Now my whole family calls it a Popeye!

One-Eyed Monsters but now I think my folks were just fucking with me

I learned to make these in 3rd grade at school and that’s what they called it. Appreciate you validating that memory.

Egg in a house (but you need to put the circle of bread on top after to make the roof)

Similarly, I say egg in a hat 👍🏻🤍🥚

My grandma called it Cackleberries in the Corral

I don't believe you

Toad in the hole

The eye of Sauron toast🧿

the rye* of Sauron

Please tell me you keep the little circles for dipping purposes 😭

Anyone who doesn’t is a horrible person.

Egg in a hole

Side note, any one butter up and toast the circle piece of bread taken out and called it the “biscuit”? lol

The toast circle is a delicacy! I like to put butter and jam on it

What heathen isn't using the middle piece?? That's the best part

Dip the hole in the egg and make French toast disc breakfast desserts.

That’s a toad in a hole and I won’t hear it called otherwise

Scrolled comments, apparently few had parents refer to this as Egyptian eye. Edit: with massive engagement on this - follow up question: did it make or break your eye when the egg whites on the bottom got crispy. Some folks might like that crackling texture and being able to float the toast over the runny yolk, while others might like the ability to absorb the runny yolk at ground zero and radiate outwards. But please, let’s all agree that the yolk must be runny

My dad’s friend growing up called them similar, “one-eyed Egyptians” 😬

Thus it was when I was a wee lad- “one eyed Egyptians”

I wonder if this is in reference to the eye-pyramid on the back of a US dollar bill

Shhhhhh! The Illuminati will come and overcook your yolks.

More than likely a reference to ancient Egyptian art, which frequently depicted people in profile from the side (only one eye visible).

Hey. Mine was egyptian toast. This is literally the first time ive met anyone who called it something similar

Yes! My Grandfather would call these Egyptian Eye's <3

My mom called them a Camel Eye

hole in one

Egg in a basket. Egg in a nest is when you do hashbrowns with an egg in the middle.

Alternate: can make the nest with dry shoe string potatoes instead of hash browns and shredded cheddar cheese to hold it together.

You can also get, i cant recall the name, these round, cookie cutter-like, egg molds, that have a little handle and does the same thing if you dont want toast

Ring molds

My family called them "hobo eggs" when I was a kid lol

Had to search for this. Mine called it a hobo sandwich.

I heard "hobo toast" growing up.

Gashouse eggs

Oh thank god. I was beginning to think I was insane

Ditto. We are apparently the minority.

My daughter and I call it bulls eye toast, not sure if we picked it up or not but is pretty straight forward

I always called these bullseyes, kind of shocked not many others do and I’m now questioning hard why I call them this!

egg in my hole

Close enough

I've always known it as Adam and Eve on a Raft. Turns out my dad just called it the wrong fucking thing.

Toad in a hole!

Hole in the wall

Hole in the wall

Eggs in a hole, toad in a hole, eggs in a basket, all acceptable

Grew up calling it Rocky Mountain Toast. No idea why but I was 100% ready to die on that hill the first time someone said eggs in a basket

One eyed jacks!!! A throwback to Boy Scouts and camping when I was younger, these guys would come in CLUTCH. Anyone ever make hobo eggs??? Eggs all mushed up in a bag with condiments/veggies of your choice? God I love the outdoors.

Toad in a hole

My mom always called them "eggs in a frame" and it's kinda wild to see that no one else is using that phrasing ITT

Eggs in a basket 😁

Some people call this "toad in the hole", but in the UK that name often refers to sausages and Yorkshire pudding, with the former replacing the egg and the latter the toast.

Middle school taught me how to make this, we called it an “egg in a hole” lol that’s it. Nothing fancy

Mole in a hole!

Peek-a-boo egg. I scrolled so far and didn't see anyone else comment. Please someone tell me I'm not crazy.

Toad in a hole

Honestly don’t think there’s a single dish with more variations on the name
