Edit: (Slice of bread with a hole cut in the middle and an egg fried in it.) I have always called them daddy-o eggs but I have recently been informed that is incorrect.-

This is what we called it in my household, as well.

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

[-] pyrflie@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

I have to know where you are from. I have never heard of this as Toad in the hole, and this like the 6th comment in thread I've seen of it.

I only know Toad in the hole as Sausage in bread.

I know you don't want to DOX but just region. NE US, AUS, NZ? I gotta know.

Southeast US

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

[-] SoleInvictus@lemmy.world 10 points 6 months ago

Isn't toad in the hood sausages in Yorkshire pudding?

[-] TechLich@lemmy.world 5 points 6 months ago

"Toad in the Hood" is the gritty HBO sequel to "The Wind in the Willows" that takes place after Toad breaks out of prison.

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

[-] HappycamperNZ@lemmy.world 6 points 6 months ago

Suppose this is now what I call them too

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.

I can also attest to hearing “eggs in a basket” and “toad in a hole” growing up. My son has just dubbed the dish “egg bread” and requested it almost daily. He also calls fried eggs “dip eggs” and boiled eggs “shape eggs.” He was probably 3 when he solidified these terms, but they have all stuck, 6 years later.

Toad in a hole in the UK is a vastly different dish of sausages baked into a Yorkshire pudding

[-] DrBob@lemmy.ca 7 points 6 months ago

Fanny means something different there too. Ain't dialect a thing?

[-] squiblet@kbin.social 4 points 6 months ago

"Gashouse eggs" is the one I've heard most. Nice Great Depression-era ring to it.

[-] dmention7@lemm.ee 15 points 6 months ago

Did you meant to ask "What do YOU" call this dish?

Because the "correct" name probably changes every 100 miles [161km]

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.

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.

[-] AVincentInSpace@pawb.social 11 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Aren't pigs in a blanket when you wrap a sausage in a pancake? Hence, you know, pigs?

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'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.

[-] BowtiesAreCool@lemmy.world 9 points 6 months ago

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.

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.

[-] zurohki@aussie.zone 9 points 6 months ago

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

[-] tooclose104@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 months ago

I see more green than blue, like a seafoam green.

I'm curious what others see? My wife and I have this back and forth of what's a shade of blue vs green with some things around the house. Gar as I know I'm not colour blind, but I'm aware that some people have better colour perception than others so it really does make me wonder.

I call it redneck egg

Why? Both are in bread

[-] pyrflie@lemm.ee 8 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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 frame

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

[-] ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

"Egg in toast".

We were a creative family.

Didn't see this one here yet: sunshine toast

[-] Pat_Riot 5 points 6 months ago

That is a plate.

[-] Hyperreality@kbin.social 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

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.

That’s a Robin’s nest or an eggy hole
