Egg in a hole

I'd rather die, than give you control

Egg in a hole
Buttered and gold
I'd rather die
Than eat it while cold
- Bow down before the bread you're served
  
  You're going to eat what you deserve
Weird Al wants to know your location

Also the name of my favorite Nine Inch Nails song.

Looks great!

Lol my brain automatically said, “I’d rather die than give you control” after reading this title

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
- Ooh, I do like that name as well.
- 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.
- We called it “eggs in the basket”
- Growing up in New England we called them “egg with a hat”
- Yeah, Eastern Seaboard. Could be Regional.

That's one glamorous bread hole

Thanks. I'm trying to do a bit more with my presentation. There's a balance between pretty and not enough food and this teeters right on the edge of that in my opinion.
- I think berries deserve to be in an abundant glistening pile! Two sliced berries is a pretty decoration but leaves me feeling a little sad.

We like to call this Bregg in my house but our doesn't look this fancy. It looks great, although the cut berries seems a little extra.

I grew up in the Midwest US and we called this a "Gashouse". No idea why.

I also don't know why I grew up in the midwest, but I generally regret it.

(We called it toad in a hole, sausage in croissant dough was pigs in a blanket).

We call this "hobo bread" lol. Good stuff

Popeye toast!

Toad in the hole.... uncultured heathen!

I saw someone on Mastodon call it that. You are both a disgrace (sorry). This is toad in the hole (sausages baked in Yorkshire pudding).
- Let me tell you what! I'm 'merican and we ain't gotta make sense of these here thangs.
pirate's eye.... lubberly scallywag!
Eggy in a basket?
- It was always just called 'egg in a basket' in my family.
- I'll allow it.
You shut your fuckin philistine mouth

I've just never really understood these at all. The egg/bread ratio in each bite is just off. I'd rather just put the egg on top of the toast and enjoy egg + toast in every bite. What am I missing?

You're not missing anything. It's for children.
- Yeah considering the effort I'll end up just making a poached egg on toast the next time around. I can punch circles out of toast and be fancy without sacrificing flavor.

Aha I love what you did with the "hole" - I usually just lay it back on top of the egg

I make it into garlic bread because why not?

Take it easy on the sides, buddy

Magnificent! What kind of bread is that?

Thank you!! It's from the country sourdough loaf I posted yesterday!
- Absolutely delicious-looking bread. That’s on my list to try to make, now that I’ve got a nice stand mixer. You killed it!

Pretty but that yolk better not be overcooked!

Looks like the yolk broke while cooking. Some people don't like runny yolks, so it might have been intentional.
It broke when I flipped things but it was still jammy inside! Next time I think I'll toast one side of the bread, flip it, then break my egg in and cook things covered so I'm not having to flip things.

Nicest one of these I've ever seen tbh

I’m not sure I should’ve asked for this.

This is a BEATIFUL dish. I do think more berries would work, but it's a hard to argue with the very nicely balanced and striking presentation.

It screams for a strong berry mimosa accoutrement! 😁
