Some Fun Names Eggs in a Hole are called by Others
When I added this one to Instagram, I had so many comments on how they remembered this as a kid and loved eggs in a hole, that's what we called them.
However, as my children were growing up, eggs in a hole were called something different by many of their friends and family members.
Most Restaurants had this breakfast on their menu and were called eggs in a hole.
I decided to take a poll on what this breakfast was called by others.
Here are just a few that were the most popular:
Some called them "Eggs in a basket", another called this "Birdie in a nest" and last I saw was a "One-eyed Texan".
The winner and number 1, was "Toad in a Hole"!
That was just to name the top ones!
Tips for making Eggs in a Hole
- Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and melt in the butter.
- You can use any kind of cookie-cutter for the center or appetizer cutter (small for the center)
- When the butter is all spread out, place the slice of cutout bread in the skillet and crack the egg straight into the center of the hole.
- Cook until the egg sets a bit on the bottom, 30 to 45 seconds.
- Sprinkle the egg with salt and pepper.
