It was incredibly easy and fun to make. I only have one question: what do you call it? I've heard so many names for it. Vote in my fun poll.
I heard it called "Eggy in the basket" from V for Vendetta.

Alabama eggs.
Because they're in bread
There are many names for the dish, including bullseye eggs, eggs in a frame, egg in a hole, eggs in a nest, gashouse eggs, gashouse special, gasthaus eggs, hole in one, one-eyed Jack, one-eyed Pete, one-eyed Sam, pirate's eye, and popeye.[7][8][9][10] The name toad in the hole is sometimes used for this dish,[7] though that name more commonly refers to sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding batter.

The next level trick is to take the bread that was removed to make room for the eggs, and put cheese between them and crimp the edges with a fork before toasting that too
Bird in a nest.
Love dipping the middle piece in the egg yolk
A kid favorite. We call it "Egg in a hole."
Tips:
-
Use a small wine or cocktail glass to make the hole. Rotate slowly on top of a wooden cutting board. Much easier and looks nicer.
-
Whole wheat bread works great.
-
Cover the pan with a glass pot lid to control the heat. Flip as soon as the egg is opaque. Don't worry, it keeps cooking. Otherwise, the bread cooks much faster so you end up with either burnt bread or overcooked egg.
-
Dabs of butter on both sides make the bread golden brown and crispy.
-
Also good with slices of avocado and your choice of hot sauce. Or if going sweet, cooked peaches and maple syrup.
Toad in hole up here in Canada
What I’ve know it as as well in Minnesota.
i'll throw some cheese in before the egg and call it a choad in the hole.
Eggs in a basket
Bird in a nest or toad in a hole are two names I've heard for it.
Goatse sandwich
Eggs in a basket
I had no idea there were so many names for this lol.
I always heard it as egg in a nest.
Egg in a hole (Kentucky). We use egg in a basket or egg in a nest if it's hash browns instead of bread.
Toad in a hole.
Sunshine Toast: https://www.google.com/search?q=sunshine%20toast
13 million results. Your poll is flawed.
This is the best name I've learned today. I knew asking Lemmy was a good idea. 😺
SO is dancing around singing "Sunshine Toast!". Must be a British thing. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Someone called that "Toad in the hole"? Toad in the Hole is a completely different recipe.
Disambiguation page says it's also sometimes used as another name for the egg in the basket dish.
Well that's confusing.
"Eggs in a nest is the only right answer"
Checks results
"What the fuck"
bread frame
I always called it Popeye toast
Toad in the Hole
Frog in the Log
Ova in a Land Rova
"hole-in-one" or more like holinwuns, stress on the first syllable. We would use cookie cutters to get shapes out of the middle too.
One Eyed Jack, but apparently I'm in a fairly extreme minority there.
Same
Serious question: How do you eat it? Egg almost always falls out when I eat it.
My family eats it with a fork and knife on a plate. Not like a cookie.
I'll try it :D

l'œuf dans le loaf
I've never actually called it that, but Imma roll with it.
Growing up we always called it lighthouse eggs
You missed one-eyed Egyptian.
This is what I grew up calling it was well.
How do you get the egg to stay in when you put it in the toaster?
Very carefully
Egg in a frame.
Tried these recently as well; found a plastic cup that cut the holes perfectly. Kiddos loved them.
You need more butter in the pan
I can't believe no one has said "windowpane toast" yet
One eyed Jacks?
Brown Eyed Susan lol
Hobbit holes
Savory donut
My mom called them ufos (unidentified frying objects)
