It was incredibly easy and fun to make. I only have one question: what do you call it? I’ve heard so many names for it. Vote in my fun poll.
Alabama eggs.
Because they’re in bread
Toad in hole up here in Canada
i’ll throw some cheese in before the egg and call it a choad in the hole.
What I’ve know it as as well in Minnesota.
Toad in the Hole
Frog in the Log
I heard it called “Eggy in the basket” from V for Vendetta.
Goatse sandwich
My mom called them ufos (unidentified frying objects)
Toad in a hole.
Ova in a Land Rova
How do you get the egg to stay in when you put it in the toaster?
Very carefully
Eggs in a basket
Egg in a hole (Kentucky). We use egg in a basket or egg in a nest if it’s hash browns instead of bread.
You need more butter in the pan
A kid favorite. We call it “Egg in a hole.”
Tips:
-
Use a small wine or cocktail glass to make the hole. Rotate slowly on top of a wooden cutting board. Much easier and looks nicer.
-
Whole wheat bread works great.
-
Cover the pan with a glass pot lid to control the heat. Flip as soon as the egg is opaque. Don’t worry, it keeps cooking. Otherwise, the bread cooks much faster so you end up with either burnt bread or overcooked egg.
-
Dabs of butter on both sides make the bread golden brown and crispy.
-
Also good with slices of avocado and your choice of hot sauce. Or if going sweet, cooked peaches and maple syrup.

You missed one-eyed Egyptian.
This is what I grew up calling it was well.
absolutely not Toad in the Hole.
