We always called it a Toad in a Hole. But we'd always stack ham and cheese over it with the bread piece on the very top. My father was always excited to make them for everyone on the weekends.

My family called these bird nests

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Ooh, I do like that name as well.

[–] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

One-eyed Jack was what my father called it.

This is what my Dad called it and you are the first person I've ever heard besides him do it.

I wonder if it's regional, are you from NY/New England area?

Sometimes he would also call it "Frog in a Log" but that could have just been him being goofy.

The "official" name I've heard since then is Eggs in a Basket.

Toad in a hole is sausage in a pie dough, but it seems that name was reused in a limited number of us regions. Egg+bread is egg in a nest in pretty much all other UK colonized regions and in the UK.

In the UK toad in the hole is sausages in Yorkshire pudding.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 2 points 11 months ago

Yep not sure why I said pie dough, this is what happens when I Lemmy before coffee

If you're not familiar with yorkshire pudding, you might mistake it for pie crust.

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

We called it “eggs in the basket”

[–] Duranie@lemmy.film 3 points 11 months ago

I grew up with "egg in a nest."

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 2 points 11 months ago

Yeah, Eastern Seaboard. Could be Regional.

[–] xtr0n@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Growing up in New England we called them “egg with a hat”
