Egg in a basket

Eggs in a basket.

Toad-in-the-hole! Maybe. We only ever had them like once, scrambled eggs were far more common.

Eggs in a basket, toad in a hole, one eyed jack, eggs in a nest

Alabama eggs cuz it's in bread. I have usually called them egg in hole.

Toad in a hole is what I've always heard it called

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:

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.

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]

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.

Toad in the hole.

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.

I call it redneck egg

Why? Both are in bread

I'd call that one a 'blue plate'.

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.

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 the hole.

But a poorly cooked one since it looks like the egg is cooked through without having toasted the bread. Ideally the egg yolk will be runny and the bread toasted on both sides. It's also missing the interior 'dipper' toasted separately. Looks like good bread though.

Egg in a hole.

"Egg in toast".

We were a creative family.

Eggy in a basket for sure!

Egg in a frame

But the bread needs to be cooked in butter like a grilled cheese.

Eierbrot

That is a plate.

Didn't see this one here yet: sunshine toast

That’s a Robin’s nest or an eggy hole

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.

V Toast (from the movie V for Vendeta)
