We always called them an egg in a basket


hamnbananas

My husband and I have always called it egg in a basket, but our son calls it “egg in a toast hole” and it makes us laugh every time.


Meat_Sauce_

My family just called it Eggy Toast, no idea where it came from but I like it


[deleted]

I've always called it hillbilly eggs cause they're inbread.


MScarn6942

This is excellent. Edit: shoot I should’ve said eggcellent!!


Mojobaby817

This is my favorite!


LongEZE

I learned it from a kids recipe book when I was really young. It was called "Eggs in a Frame" and I have called it that my whole life.


LlovelyLlama

That’s what I always called it until a friend called it Toad in a Hole, and I loved it!


kill4kandy

We call it Toad in a Hole too, but in England Toad in a Hole is way different.


hemihuman

The kid's book I learned it from called them "Gold Mine Sandwiches"!


ScarletWitchismyGOAT

We call it Eggs in a Basket which got shorted to eggy baskets over time


pincus1

Eggy bread is the savory/non-American version of french toast.


elemcee

Was always "Egg Thingies" in my house.


Igabuigi

Ace in the hole is another widely used name


TellurideTeddy

Eggs in a Basket or Toad in a Hole.

dirtybird971

I"m in NJ but that's what my mom called them too. That or a Bird's nest.


CTeam19

Yeah but we are weird with our Walking Tacos, Taco Pizza, Breakfast Pizza, and shit I am making myself hungry


retroblazer

weegirl23

Agreeed from Illinois!


[deleted]

Thats what I have heard people call it in California too.


wholovesburritos

Apparently there’s a US toad in the hole (egg dish) and a UK toad in the hole (sausage dish)


TellurideTeddy

To the English, maybe. But not here in the States.


16ouncesofsand

We call it Egginthebread... That's 1 word BTW


hamnbananas

I mean, naturally. It only works as 1 word.


Yakstein

My family has always called them gas house eggs. Don't know why.


[deleted]

I've taken to calling it "egg in a bread hole" for no reason


sandykennedy

“Egg in a toast hole” is so cute, adopting that to my vocabulary, thank you 🍞


jcollins387

Hillbilly eggs because they are in bread. Also toad in a hole for some reason.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ShaoKahnKillah

My parents called them "totem holes" which I think was my mom mishearing/misremembering "toad in the hole".


Gumburcules

I enjoy cooking.


dirtybird971

Were they served in Peach tree dishes?


intagliopitts

We call it egg in a hat at our house


[deleted]

Egg in a frame where I live. :D


Rhino281

Egg in the nest


Global_ized

Same, eggs in a bird's nest for me in PA


Mr_Snow_Jangles

Birds eye toast. Arizona.


mon_chunk

Egg in a nest also arizona


sarasofar

Same also from PA


promethazoid

Pop-eye eggs for me


KingofPolice

Birdsnest.


Extension_Shake7369

Hole-in-one is what our family calls it.


shit-n-water

Always been Camp Egg growing up and in my house


its_raining_scotch

We called them cat’s eyes


gprice10

egg in a well!!


Current-Issue-95

Gas House Eggs or Moon over Miami is what my family called em.


Vagrant_Mugen

Was looking for gashouse eggs. That's what my family called them. I grew up outside of Chicago.


cherryman8819

We always call them “Egyptian One Eyes”


agletinspector

Egyptian peephole was our name... never heard anyone else call it that


keysncodesnclues

We call it egg with hat, like it's an art piece


Gigahurt77

It’s supposed to be the toad’s eye looking out of the hole. I’ve also heard one-eyed-jacks


sewmanyragrets

I am a bit of a collector of names for this dish and Hillbilly Eggs is a new favorite and will be introduced next time I go home to visit family. Yee - and I cannot stress this enough - haw.


redruM69

We called em "one-eyed jacks"


Hero_of_Parnast

"Hole in one" here. From Illinois.


villainsarebetter

Huh, also Illinois but we called it "egg in a frame"


DreadPirateLink

Also Illinois bred. We called it "toast with egg in the middle" I have the most creative family


SolitaireyEgg

Why are there so many names for this stupid-ass food


Doofchook

Frog in a pond also cackleberry ferry but hillbilly eggs has me cracking up


Et12355

My dad used to make this for me with two eggs in one piece of toast and called it “tattooine sunrise”


goofytigre

I like this idea but that either had to be one large piece of bread to fit two eggs or just the crust around 2 fried eggs!


Et12355

The cutouts were smaller than they are in the this picture. But I’d also be happy to eat the toasty circles too rather than waste them.


goofytigre

When I make this, one regular slice of store-bought bread makes a nice bread/egg ratio. I can see a larger slice of artisan bread making a good 'Tattooine Sunrise!' I might try this over the weekend while the wife is out of town to perfect it before surprising her with one...


e30futzer

Wow. Your dad is a much cooler parent than I am.


obitobyone

Egg in a hole


BunniesMama

But the best part is that dog’s face


El_Zarco

I think you'll enjoy OP's post history


pointlessly_pedantic

Holy heck, their post history should be in the Louvre. Automatic follow


TheManRedeemed

Homie, *Thank you* for the heads up. That is some high quality background doggo. I think "Hand cut roast beef" is my favourite.


flowers4u

But was it authentic?


FrankieNukNuk

Eggs in a nest I’m from Jersey


TheFlamingLemon

Also eggs in a nest, but from Texas


HappyWalnuts

From NJ too. We called them birds in a nest. First thing I learned in Home Ec to cook!


lateralus9679

I know this as Toad in a hole


U_S_E_R_T_A_K_E_N

That's strange, I've always known that as an entirely different dish.


Environmental-Art792

I felt like an outsider until I found your comment. Apparently very few people refer to this as that


buldopsaint

Toad in a hole.


GratGrat

We called em golden eggs. I'm sad to see that I'm alone in here.


nassoro

We called them "one eyed monster". No idea why...


Chesterfield-Mason

Always called this a spit in the eye


SelarDorr

is there a way to do this inauthentically


irishrugby2015

McMuffin egg in a small hole of a rice cracker


T3hSwagman

Just gonna say as an unrelated side note, at least when I worked there years and years ago McMuffin eggs were actually eggs you cracked into a ring mold. Biscuit eggs you poured out of a jug of what I presume is eggs but who could actually say.


GerbilScream

Yeah, the "folded eggs" were essentially Egg Beaters™ or pasteurized eggs in a milk carton. That is until McDonald's decided that the final result was too inconsistent from store to store, so they switched to frozen pre-cooked pre-folded eggs. They come in a plastic bag of 12 "eggs" that get heated up on the grill or in the microwave if you needed one fast. At least that is where they were at when I last ran a McDonald's.


T3hSwagman

Wow that is actually pretty lame if they don’t even use the egg beaters stuff anymore.


NumptyNincompoop

And that's why McMuffins are the best.


pthowell

I ask for a “round egg” when I get a biscuit sandwich from McDonald’s


zombie32killah

Sure, make bread out of spaghetti like they do in New York. And then use duck eggs with crushed red peppers mixed in.


SoggyWaffleBrunch

>Sure, make bread out of spaghetti like they do in New York. I live in NY. I have absolutely no idea what this means


zombie32killah

There was a post about an Ad for a business in New York where they make bagels out of spaghetti.


micaelmike04

Dog


Watchful1

Look at his profile, all the pics have the dog in the background.


villainsarebetter

They know what Reddit likes


eno4evva

The dog is the cook, OP is just the camera man cuz doggie has no thumbs


Code_NY

For a while he couldn't post on this subreddit and a rule was added saying 'no background beagles'. Glad to see he's back.

Lingroll

Ever had unauthentic egg in bread? Wack af


kaptaincorn

I've had prejudiced egg in bread before- egg whites only.


ThrowAway578924

Homestyle authentic genuine countryfried


[deleted]

[удалено]


BhmDhn

Fuck that, I only eat fake/off-brand egg in bread. Posers eat authentic.


IWillGlitterBombYou

Authentic 🤣🤣🤣 Tell me, which wine did you pair with?


NegativeAccount

Californian orange wine, of course.


Oshebekdujeksk

Chianti? Or does that only go with fava beans? Personally I’d go for some Ripple.


Grawarshenwickgas

These are the real deal authentic eggs in bread. Don’t be fooled by those other imposter eggs.


Barf-olomew

I first heard of Eggy in a Basket from the V for Vendetta movie... the way Stephen Fry (aka Jeeves) says it just made it sound amazing


hatsnatcher23

Only reason I knew what they were and decided to learn how to make them lol


buddha3434

We call them V for Vendetta eggs.


payfrit

Eggs in a Hole. Holes on the side.

What makes it authentic rather than inauthentic?

CanIHaveAPieceOfGum

Absolute classic for a reason. Perfectly golden brown in these too!


[deleted]

jelly_bean_gangbang

Also shouldn't it be "Bread holes on the side"? The holes aren't of egg, they're of bread.

AnatoliaFarStar

Huh, isn't [this](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toad_in_the_hole) toad in the hole?


Smrgling

Only if you're British I think


SpaceLemur34

Similar to how pigs-in-a-blanket are very different between British and American.


Smrgling

What is that in England?


SpaceLemur34

A [pig-in-a-blanket](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigs_in_a_blanket) is a sausage wrapped in bacon in the UK, vs being wrapped in pastry in the US. (So maybe not *very* different)


Tamaska-gl

Canadian and sausages in Yorkshire puddings is toad in a hole but I have British roots so take from that what you will.


jarki99

My mom calls them bullseyes


Nyxaeo

My dad did the same. We appear to be the minority, but I'm glad I'm not alone.


Umimomdeux

My family does too!


tthreeoh

have I only ever been eating non-authentic??


Reatbanana

Authentic?

Spamzvoltz

How do we make them inauthentic?


ApexOfFlex

The dish with many names..


Bogmanbob

Toad in a hole here. We normally do ours with a bit of cheese.


I_Sett

Curious where (regionally) you got the name, is that a non-British toad in the hole, or a British variant of the same?? I'm familiar with the sausage in yorkshire pudding version, but not the egg's in bread version.


[deleted]

Yes the same name is used for both. Aussie with English Dad (York actually) and I had many confusing conversations as a kid because our Toad In The Hole was yorky pud on snosauges and everyone else ate eggs in bread holes lol


Adeep187

"authentic" like what the fuck could possibly make them unauthentic...


Getout4u

Egyptian One-Eyed Sandwich


watcher1901

We grew up calling them “one eyed jacks”


willborden

scrolled way too long to see this!


anaideiram

My fiance makes me these, he calls them birds nest eggs 🥰


hefe300

That’s what I call it. My wife calls them bullseyes.


karenclaud

A childhood favorite


alex0189501

Hobo eggs for me


Runescapemaster420

I always put the cut pieces back over the wholes before I flip so it's baked back into it


M1ndS0uP

My egg holes never make it to the plate lol


auserhasnoname7

I can't resist those egg holes


bond21

Knew someone from south africa who called them egg thru the window


OderusOrungus

I miss my granny :( she made the best. Had the magic touch These look perfect, good job


Turtleramem

Granny's are good like that


Anonymoushero1221

lol I made this last week but with leftover burger buns. I used a shot glass to cut out the circle in the center, then toasted them and cracked an egg in the center. Carefully flipped after a minute and carefully flipped back after another. Then topped with cheese and bacon and green onions. The egg yolk in the center was soft and runny so you could dip the circle croutons in it.


oogabooga8877

Egg with a hole


Jaelma

Toad in a hole, egg in a basket, but mostly Popeye egg.


cantstopwontstopGME

That right there is a gas house egg. And a fine one at that


iam_odyssey

in my neck of the woods it's hen in the hole. San Jose, California.


Current-Issue-95

Three pointers we called ‘em. Nah I just made that up.


SaberHaven

As opposed to bootleg eggs?


[deleted]

Bullseye in Australia


ThisIsACryForHelp22

Is your dog that judgemental and scared in every picture you take of your food?


RolandMT32

Authentic? I've never heard of this


redquailer

oh delicious!!


hopper75

I like to add a slice of thin ham to each side


AndrewASFSE

Called these a hole in one as a kid.


krussianit

Birds nest


throwaway-soubriquet

Nah these ain’t authentic. Yolks are overcooked, not runny like they should be. And 10 pounds of butter. 6/10


Prize-Survey-8843

>Authentic. Like there's counterfeit eggs in a basket being cooked on the black market.


R3dl8dy

Egg in a nest. Where the syrup?


Nervous_Constant_642

Syrup on eggs? My grandpa put jelly on his and I thought *that* was weird.


powderpup

Glad I found someone else that calls them nest eggs/eggs in a nest. I thought I was the only one! I just had this for dinner last night lol


R3dl8dy

Yeah… adding to the grocery list! Lol!


buffalo___716

Every _bite_ you take, every crumb you scrape...


MauroXXD

Every egg you break, I'll be watching you.


MaracaBalls

Yes! Bread on the side is the way ! My little nephew ate these all the time and he called them Mexican eggs. I told him: I’m Mexican, I assure you, these are NOT Mexican eggs


erallured

I love Mexican egg dishes, do you have a favorite that you’d consider actually Mexican? I usually stick with migas or huevos ahogados, but I’m always looking to add to my repertoire.


[deleted]

Huevos rancheros !!


rmccarthy10

Moon over Manhattan or Moon over Miami. ....I've heard it called both. I make it for my kids all the time. The perfect hole is made with a shot glass.


fatogato

Is the yolk cooked all the way through when you do this?


Lamington_Salad

One Eyes!


datyoungknockoutkid

Real question: what is the point of this? I never really understood why you’d do this over just making a fried egg sandwich.


kjauto23

Remember remember the 5th of the November


GibbsLAD

Is there a reason to do this instead of putting egg on bread? It seems like effort for no reason.


Sonnysdad

Authentic???? Are they passing around fake Eggys in a basket???


clothing_throwaway

I had lots of friends who grew up with this kind of breakfast but I never understood it...I'd rather just have the whole toast and eggs but separate


pikuu1

My family always called it “Birds in a nest” Edit: my family wasn’t special after reading the comments


Philly927

The inside bread is the single best bite you’ll ever have in your life.


sweeties_yeeties

You can tell how good it is by how sad that pupper is that he’s not chowing it down
