      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.

      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.

          In the UK toad in the hole is sausages in Yorkshire pudding.

            If you’re not familiar with yorkshire pudding, you might mistake it for pie crust.

      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.

          the real breakfast is out of frame, 2 slices of toast with eggs injected, a bowl of berries, a glass of water, and a cup of coffee. OP stated they don’t like fat people so they purposely do stuff like this to present an incomplete image of what normal people eat. come on seriously, i’d be hungry 5 minutes after eating this “meal”

    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 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).

    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?

        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

        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!

      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.
