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.

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.

Eggs in a basket

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 6 points 2 years ago

Someone called that "Toad in the hole"? Toad in the Hole is a completely different recipe.

[-] ignirtoq@fedia.io 8 points 2 years ago

Disambiguation page says it's also sometimes used as another name for the egg in the basket dish.

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 2 points 2 years ago

Well that's confusing.

[-] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 years ago

Bird in a nest or toad in a hole are two names I've heard for it.

[-] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 6 points 2 years ago

Toad in a hole.

[-] OmnislashIsACloudApp@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

I had no idea there were so many names for this lol.

I always heard it as egg in a nest.

[-] mierkxiii@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Egg in a hole (Kentucky). We use egg in a basket or egg in a nest if it's hash browns instead of bread.

This is the best name I've learned today. I knew asking Lemmy was a good idea. ๐Ÿ˜บ

SO is dancing around singing "Sunshine Toast!". Must be a British thing. ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

One Eyed Jack, but apparently I'm in a fairly extreme minority there.

Serious question: How do you eat it? Egg almost always falls out when I eat it.

[-] Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org 18 points 2 years ago

My family eats it with a fork and knife on a plate. Not like a cookie.

[-] Wistful@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 2 years ago

I'll try it :D

[-] isyasad@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

"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.

[-] Tugboater203@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

It's called Chicken on a Raft. There's an old sea shanty about it.

[-] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

It's much better than the remake they did a while back, it's too fast in my opinion.

[-] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

One eyed Jacks?

[-] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 2 points 2 years ago

How do you get the egg to stay in when you put it in the toaster?

[-] Inucune@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Egg in a frame.

[-] xv9d@fedia.io 2 points 2 years ago

Growing up we always called it lighthouse eggs

I've never actually called it that, but Imma roll with it.

You missed one-eyed Egyptian.

[-] Hasherm0n@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

This is what I grew up calling it was well.

[-] s3rvant@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

Tried these recently as well; found a plastic cup that cut the holes perfectly. Kiddos loved them.

[-] RedEyeFlightControl@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I can't believe no one has said "windowpane toast" yet
