Which one of a hundred names do you call it?

[-]

mikek313@reddit

If you’d lose the ketchup and replace with a slice of cheese it’d be “gas house eggs”

[-]

SnooHesitations9447@reddit

Here in the south, they are called chicks in a basket or lesser used chicks in a nest.

[-]

ShogunFirebeard@reddit

You cut a hole in the center of some bread slices, then you pan fry and egg inside that hole. You end up with toast with an egg in the center. I've always known it as eggie in a basket.

[-]

mightysockelf@reddit

Now that you've explained it, I can now see that there are eggs there. Before I was like, "Who the fuck is trying to name ketchup covered toast with a side of silver dollar pancakes"

[-]

Expensive_Air965@reddit

That's exactly what I thought. I was so confused. I did not see the eggs there at first at all. I was like toast with ketchup and hash browns. Why would you eat a plate of carbs with ketchup?

[-]

mightysockelf@reddit

My little sister grew up eating ketchup sandwiches, and her son does the same thing, so from my POV it is not so out of the ordinary 🙃

[-]

thegholahayt@reddit

How the hell are you making french toast? Stay away from my breakfast table.

[-]

HopelessMagic@reddit

It's egg and bread cooked together just in a different way. My comment stands.

[-]

Expensive_Air965@reddit

Sure, if you don't use milk or cinnamon or nutmeg or sugar or any of the other things that go into French toast that make it absolutely delicious

[-]

thegholahayt@reddit

If you want trash french toast, sure.

[-]

HopelessMagic@reddit

I did mention the extra steps, right?

[-]

Your original comment was saying that cutting a hole in the bread and frying the egg in the hole are the extra steps added to making french toast, unless you count removing all other ingredients that make it french toast as the extra steps too.

[-]

HopelessMagic@reddit

I never said those were the extra steps made. 😂

[-]

Spirited_Ingenuity89@reddit

Not remotely.

[-]

Anadelyn@reddit

Seems like it would work better to just fry an egg and put it on a slice of toast.

[-]

Expensive_Air965@reddit

No, it is completely different when you cook the egg into the toasts. That way it tastes like magic. That's the only way I can explain it

[-]

prollyaporkchop@reddit

You forgot butter.The most important part is butter in the pan

[-]

Remarkable_Term631@reddit

I butter both sides of the bread - like grilled cheese

[-]

CorwinAlexander@reddit

Do you do it before removing the hole, or after? I, personally can't stand the butter getting everywhere trying to remove the hole after, so I struggle to hold the less structurally sound slice with a hole in it

[-]

AggravatingSignal129@reddit

Yes, thank you. This is absolutely the key.

[-]

FreddyNoodles@reddit

The egg is supposed to be med fried, “dippy”… or so I was always told anyway by my very young children who learned this from their northern Indiana grandma. They used the circles to dip. OR sometimes they used the crust yo dip and the little circles were tiny french toast that better be on their own plate because that syrup is NOT touching the mfing dippy eggs.

I would have had a full mutiny if I had even waved the ketchup bottle by the plate.

[-]

Marie-and-Twanette@reddit

Same. Grew up poor, only had cereal for breakfast.

[-]

Expensive_Air965@reddit

Cereal is expensive. A dozen eggs and a loaf of bread goes a lot farther and has more nutrients

[-]

Marie-and-Twanette@reddit

There’s more to it than the cost. There were six people in my family, so a dozen eggs would be gone in one go, the bread would be for dinner, and the cereal came in big family sized boxes, lasted longer, and didn’t require any effort from a parent, that had to work most most of the day.

[-]

Expensive_Air965@reddit

As far as time consumption goes that makes sense. If I had four kids I wouldn't be making hot breakfast every morning either .But monetarily It's still more effective and more nutritious to do the toad in a hole

[-]

Marie-and-Twanette@reddit

That’s just not true, a box of cereal was still very cheaply, and goes further than a carton of eggs and a loaf of bread, especially because bread and eggs are used in other meals.

[-]

TransportationOk657@reddit

My thought as well! Never had this served to me and never saw anyone eat this.

[-]

Otisthedog999@reddit

I never knew about it until I was about 40 years old. New friend made them for breakfast and called them ' hole in the walls'. I thought it was a cute name but wondered why the best part of the bread was removed.

[-]

RailroadAllStar@reddit

Guess I never graduated to ketchup. I’d fry an egg and throw it on a piece of toast with a ton of black pepper and some cheese. Never ketchup though

[-]

embiate@reddit

Black pepper all over a fried egg and toast hits

[-]

glazedfaith@reddit

Never understood why you'd want to cut the middle out of the bread rather than add the egg on top.

[-]

sleepybirdl71@reddit

Because it's fun

[-]

illegal_fiction@reddit

Because the egg fries into the bread and creates a different dish, it’s not the same as a fried egg on top of a piece of toast. Anymore than scrambled eggs are the same as an omelette. Both the bread and eggs are different. The fried cut out circle is the best part.

[-]

moosifer_the_foul@reddit

I guess I'm white trash but omelets tasted different cause I put stuff in them I don't put in a scrambled egg. That is just salt and pepper. Maybe cheese.

[-]

PopEnvironmental1250@reddit

You forgot the best part, using the little toast circle to break open the runny yolk. That's the real key.

[-]

nomowolf@reddit

Persuasively put

[-]

So you can fry the egg without it running all over the place and the bread soaks up the rest.

Egg in a hole.

But you need to go to the next level now; here me out.

You make two these can keep them on a low heat pan so they stay warm; or in the oven on a low heat like you would with a stack of pancakes or french toast.

Next you make some bacon to your desired state of bacon cookedness.

Strain most of the bacon fat out of the pan, or keep it all for some extra greasyness if that's what you like.

Now put the egg in the holes back in cooking pan, grate some cheese (I cheat pre-grated 3 cheese mixed bag) on the face up sides and let it melt a bit on top, but the bacon strips on one, flip the other on top and make yourself an Egg in the hole Bacon Cheese Sandwich.

Haven’t seen this one mentioned yet but we used to call them “Gold Mine.”

And yes. Ketchup on eggs is absolutely acceptable. Although I personally prefer hot sauce or salsa on my eggs…

SubArcticSeaWolf@reddit

Toad in the hole or egg in the hole. We pan toast the cut out and place it on top like a cover.

Eggs in a basket. The ketchup is just evil

[-]

BougieDustBunny@reddit

COOKIE EGGS! I can't believe no one else called them this besides your parents and me?? lol. When I was younger my best friend's grandma used to make this for us when we stayed the night at her house and called them cookie eggs!
We are Southern California but I believe the grandma was from back east somewhere.

elkniodaphs@reddit

Very similar to what my mom made, but she didn't bother with the hole in the bread. It was just a fried egg sandwich with ketchup, but when mom made it, it was on a different level.

[-]

duckswtfpwn@reddit

How do you ruin the buttery crispy goodness of them with FREAKING KETCHUP? And yes, these are divine. We called them Toad in the Hole's my entire life until I learned there was an actual English dish by that name that makes more sense. I'll call them Eggs in a basket or Poke in the butt (for some reason).

[-]

Boring-Community-100@reddit

I'm stealing "poke in the butt." That's brilliant.

[-]

Pbmcsteve@reddit (OP)

That’s how I ate them when I was a smol child. Don’t taste right without it now.

It does, but only scrambled.

[-]

relikter@reddit

Try your scrambled eggs with grape jelly or hot sauce next time.

[-]

Hlsclh@reddit

This.

[-]

pocket-snowmen@reddit

I don't mind a little ketchup getting on scrambled eggs. But I'd never put it on an egg with runny yolk!

[-]

flatulating_ninja@reddit

Agreed. Eggs love hot sauce though.

[-]

DStew713@reddit

Strongly disagree. Especially on an egg sandwich.

[-]

rinky79@reddit

My family called them "one-eyed sandwiches." My HS/college boyfriend's family called them "eggy toast"

Putting ketchup on them is an abomination.

Looks like something my sister ate when she was a teen, lol. She was obsessed with ketchup. I don't think our family had a name for it. Just eggs on toast. I'll ask my mother the next time I visit her. I didn't like putting ketchup on breakfast food except hash browns.

CloseButNoChicory@reddit

I have no idea what this is. Toast, some kind of red sauce, I think possibly there's eggs in the middle of the slices but it could just be butter. And then there's smaller things on the side of the plate. I can't identify them.

[-]

Pbmcsteve@reddit (OP)

Eggs fried inside a piece of bread.

[-]

CloseButNoChicory@reddit

Cool! How is the bread wrapped around the egg? Or is it an egg that's rolled around in breadcrumbs and fried after?

[-]

Pbmcsteve@reddit (OP)

Butter both sides of bread, use rim of glass or biscuit cutter to cut circle out of bread. Put bread in hot pan and crack egg in hole. Flip when appropriate.

[-]

CloseButNoChicory@reddit

Oh, so the disclike things aren't eggs at all, they're circles of bread cut from the toast?

I presume when you say butter both sides of bread you mean butter both sides of toast. There's no way the bread in that photo hasn't been toasted.

[-]

Pbmcsteve@reddit (OP)

It was toasted in the pan with the eggs. At least that’s how I do it.

[-]

CloseButNoChicory@reddit

Wow, it really looks like it's been toasted. Anyway, thanks for the explanation. I got downvoted in an earlier comment for asking what the discs were. Shame on me for being curious about other cuisines I suppose.

[-]

Pbmcsteve@reddit (OP)

Hahaha. Welcome to Reddit I guess. Apparently the use of ketchup was for many akin to a war crime.

[-]

CloseButNoChicory@reddit

That's what the sauce was?! I thought it was brown sauce like the Brits use. Occasionally to be found in Irish kitchens but not often.

[-]

Munchkin531@reddit

You butter a slice of bread, cut a hole in the bread, crack an egg in it, and fry it/season it as you like. You also cook the bread circle. I've found cooking it on my gridle is the most effective way. I like to add a slice of bacon or 2 and cheese to mine!

Oh, and if you use a wider bread, you can put two holes in it, put an egg in each hole, and you have owl toast. Try it.

I call it the wrong was to make eggs on toast. The correct way is to fry the eggs in a pan, gently shaping them to be the exact same shape as your slice of bread, such that when you place the egg on the toast, the entire slice is covered with eggy goodness. None of this pigs in a basket nonsense.

I don't understand why there's a minor sea of suspiciously dark looking ketchup on those, but in my house cutting out the middle of a piece of bread and then cooking an egg in that empty space so that it fuses with the bread is called Eggs in a Basket.
