We always called it "bread eggies," although I could not tell you
where that name started...not with us, I confess, and I think it was
used by a sibling who got it from her husband's family.

I called them eggs in a frame and used to make that for the kids. It's
really cute stuff. These days they'd probably be mildly amused.

I knew it as "Toad in a Hole."

Our niece came to live with us. She was a troubled teen. Then one weekend
my wife and I were deciding what to have for breakfast. She spared to life
stating "Toads in a Hole. I'll make them.

She went into the kitchen and went to work, beaming. When we finished and
gave our compliments to the chef she blushed and went about cooking
seconds.

Every Saturday morning from them on, we had "Toads in a Hole" for breakfast
ritual. It was about the only time she seemed happy, contributing to the
household in her own small but vitally important way of belonging.

She grew into a loving and caring wife and mother! We were very proud of
her. She's next in line to be Matriarch of the family.

My ex called it Target Toast; instead of flipping, she slipped the pan under
the broiler to set the top of the egg.

I would call then toad in the hole and I'm not British. But they are
delicious.

I think pan-fried bread is underrated.

Maybe because you need to weigh the bread down sometimes, if you're frying
an English muffin.

No point in wasting food. Fried circles are yummy.

Toad in the Hole is sausage cooked in a flour and egg batter. Using the term
for Hole in the Wall eggs is a misnomer.

I've been reading the thread with interest, vaguely recalling Toad in the
Hole involved link sausage. I've never had Toad in the Hole but everything
I've read about it described as you did.

I'll have to try Hole in the Wall eggs sometime. Sounds very easy and tasty.
Any specific seasonings other than S&P?

It's all nonsense meant to look good ona plate. Bottom line, it's an
egg w/ toast. Being one lazy sumbitch, I quickly pan fry 2 eggs over
easy while a big piece of 12 grn toast is in the toaster. I tear the
toast up into bits inna bowl and toss in the eggs. Mix, mash, add
S&P. Ain't pretty, but tastes exactly the same.
