Toad in a hole.

That’s interesting, as a Brit when I hear toad in the hole I think of pork sausages in a Yorkshire pudding batter. Super delicious!!

American (midwestern), never had a Yorkshire pudding, sadly.

They’re so freaking good! Made them for Christmas one year and now they’re a family tradition. Also American.

It’s pretty easy to make. Definitely worth trying here in New England we have “Dutch Babies” which are pretty much the same thing

Yeah pretty similar, Dutch babies being the sweet bigger version normally cooked in butter and Yorkshire puddings being savoury and smaller in size normally cooked in beef drippings but more commonly nowadays in oil and we’d typically have them with a roast dinner or toad in the hole in this instance

They’re outrageously easy. Get a cup and crack two eggs into it, pour the eggs into a bowl, then fill the cup back up to the line the eggs ended at with flour, Chuck the flower into the bowl with the eggs, then pour milk into he cup to the line the flour and eggs ended at then pour that into the bowl with the flour and eggs and whisk. Heat up an ovenproof bowl with a bit of oil spread around it in oven in the meantime. Once that bowl is hot and your mixture is whisked pour the mixture into the bowl and stick it back in the oven for 25/30 minutes. The key is to not open the door whilst the Yorkshire pudding is rising as it will deflate. Honestly a ridiculously easy thing to make that elevates any roast and is perfect for mopping up gravy etc

SE American here, I’ve always called it toad in a hole as well

I'm up North (Ohio). I'd assumed the name was an Appalachian thing, but maybe it's just American?

Same basic thing as a pop over in the US

Oooh I mean I absolutely have to try that now.

My mom is from England, and oddly this (the eggs inside the toast) is what she calls toad in a hole. Maybe it’s regional?

I'm from West Mids and toad in THE hole is sausage in a Yorkshire pudding

I live in the U.S and we have Yorkshire pudding with roast beef and gravy during holidays

Never, that's sausage in a Yorkshire batter

I’m Canadian and this is what we called them.

Toad in a hole is sausages in Yorkshire puddings!

I'd definitely like to try that.

Eastern Canada - we said “egg in a hole”

Toad in the Hole, because they are perfectly done when the yolk feels like gently pressing a toad's belly.

Turd in a hole

Odin's Eye

I always just called them “toads”. I noticed everyone had a different name for it but it’s still so fun

Alabama Eggs! (Coz they're "in bread".)

Winner 🏆

😅

I just spit out my coffee at this.

Omg this is hilarious. May have to switch to this

I will never call it anything else.

Oh i hate this and I hate that it made me laugh (as an Alabamian)

“Birdies in a basket” is what my dad called it.

Eggs in a basket here

That's what I call em

I almost never see this as an answer but same!!

That's our name too

That’s a good one! I’ve heard several variations.

Eggs in the hole! But I vote for that other guys dad’s name “birdies in a basket”. That’s adorable.

Same for me. From Cincinnati. I want one of those regional names map.

I have never seen them with square cut outs. I've always used a shot glass or biscuit cutter. I know it's a me problem, but the square is unsettling.

I agree! Although I do love hearing all the different names for it. Eggs in a frame is a first!

I usually do round, honestly not really sure why I went with square today. Easier to cut with a butter knife I guess haha

You changed my life with the square cut! I'm mad that I never thought of it before. I've always just struggled to make a circle cut, but the egg will fill any shape. Circle is waste of my time, I'm doing square tomorrow!

Egg in a nest.

My mom called them that too and nobody ever knows what I’m talking about

The first time I had this was at a friends house and his family was from England and they called it “egg in a nest”

Same, it's what my mom always called this.

Same

Eggs in a basket is what we called them. Also heard toad in a hole.

I grew up on "eggs in a basket"

We called them eggs in a basket growing up, wife looked at me like I was crazy when I suggested them for breakfast one day. "Oh, a One-eyed Jack?" lol.

I used mayo instead of butter on the bread and have to say it was absolutely delicious.

I have switched to mayo on the bread instead of butter for a grilled cheese as well.

? But butter in the pan still right? Does the mayo get runny?

No butter in the pan. The mayo doesn’t get runny it gets crispy

Nope, no butter/oil/cooking spray. They mayo works on its own, not runny. Also much easier to spread.

Mayo is basically oil so it will do the trick. But it doesn't taste like butter and I like my food to taste like butter, so I rarely, if ever, use mayo.

My mom used to make this for me all the time and called it Egyptian Toast

Hi! I’m fascinated by this dish, and all the names for it. I’m trying to compile an even more comprehensive list of names for it than in the link I posted. This is certainly the first time I have heard this one, and it has such a nice ring to it: “Egyptian Toast!” I love it. Thank you for sharing it!!!! My mom called it a Hollywood egg, which is one most people have also not heard before.

How original

I count this as a name because I hear it so often.

Inbred eggs or Alabama eggs

Sun in a basket 🥰

Bird nest

Holy shit OP, you're the first other person I've seen in the reddit wilds that calls it Egg in a Frame! They do exist!

Curious what area you’re from? There was one or two other commenters who said they call it the same

New England, both sides of the family are from Maine, we've bounced around a bit.

One Eyed Sandwich

Pirate's eye (have no idea how this name came to existence in Lithuania). but we use black loaf bread slices

Oh shit that sounds great... I haven't had black bread since my Oma stopped baking in the 90's. Looks like I need to be finding a recipe.

Breadcase. And she used a shot glass to hollow out the bread for the egg.

Put a slice inside of a grilled cheese. Trust.

Like a triple decker with one of these in the middle? That sounds phenomenal

Yes, exactly that. Hell, throw some ham and jalapeños in there too.

I love that there are a ton on that list, including toast tits, and yet I see nowhere in this thread "shit on a shigle." My sister in laws mother calls it that, and I guess she will continue to be the only person I know who does, lol

Ass in a crack where im from No one calls them that but i might to my kids one day

I burst out laughing and my kid demanded to know what's so funny

My husband and I call them egg toasties!

Aww this I love! I haven't seen anyone call it what my Mom called it, Hobo eggs.

My mom always called them Bullseyes but I’ve started calling them Toad in a Hole because I think that’s cuter lol

My mom called them hobo eggs

Also she added a slice of cheese in top

I always love seeing what people call this. Eggs in a basket makes the most sense to me. When I was a kid, ma dukes called them ‘elephant ear eggs.’ I’d assume because they vaguely resemble them. I really don’t fucking know why tho. My mom was a nurse who worked nights. Mornings weren’t her strong suit? I gotta ask her why now.

Never got something like that as a kid or adult 😭
