Egg in a hole
Buttered and gold
I'd rather die
Than eat it while cold

Bow down before the bread you're served

You're going to eat what you deserve

[-] dmention7@lemm.ee 9 points 2 years ago

Weird Al wants to know your location

[-] tomatobeard@lemmy.world 15 points 2 years ago

Also the name of my favorite Nine Inch Nails song.

Looks great!

[-] TheFriar@lemm.ee 8 points 2 years ago

Lol my brain automatically said, “I’d rather die than give you control” after reading this title

[-] Alteon@lemmy.world 11 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Tumnus@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

My family called these bird nests

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

One-eyed Jack was what my father called it.

[-] Alteon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

Ooh, I do like that name as well.

[-] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Routhinator@startrek.website 8 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] ma11en@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years ago

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

[-] Routhinator@startrek.website 2 points 2 years ago

Yep not sure why I said pie dough, this is what happens when I Lemmy before coffee

We called it “eggs in the basket”

[-] Duranie@lemmy.film 3 points 2 years ago

I grew up with "egg in a nest."

[-] Alteon@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, Eastern Seaboard. Could be Regional.

[-] xtr0n@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 years ago

Growing up in New England we called them “egg with a hat”

[-] Zimmy@lemm.ee 10 points 2 years ago

That's one glamorous bread hole

[-] LoneGansel@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] atomicorange@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

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.

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.

[-] XaeroDegreaz@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

We call this "hobo bread" lol. Good stuff

[-] Che_Donkey@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Popeye toast!

[-] Poot@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 2 years ago

I grew up in the Midwest US and we called this a "Gashouse". No idea why.

[-] rynzcycle@kbin.social 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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).

[-] canthidium@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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?

[-] wholeofthemoon@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago

You're not missing anything. It's for children.

[-] LoneGansel@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 2 years ago

Toad in the hole.... uncultured heathen!

[-] JoBo@feddit.uk 4 points 2 years ago

I saw someone on Mastodon call it that. You are both a disgrace (sorry). This is toad in the hole (sausages baked in Yorkshire pudding).

[-] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 2 years ago

Let me tell you what! I'm 'merican and we ain't gotta make sense of these here thangs.

[-] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 2 years ago

pirate's eye.... lubberly scallywag!

[-] Mr_Blott@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

You shut your fuckin philistine mouth

Aha I love what you did with the "hole" - I usually just lay it back on top of the egg

[-] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

I make it into garlic bread because why not?

[-] isendmemes@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Take it easy on the sides, buddy

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

Magnificent! What kind of bread is that?

[-] LoneGansel@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Thank you!! It's from the country sourdough loaf I posted yesterday!

[-] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 years ago

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!

[-] Pothetato@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Pretty but that yolk better not be overcooked!

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Looks like the yolk broke while cooking. Some people don't like runny yolks, so it might have been intentional.

[-] LoneGansel@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

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.

[-] Pohl@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

I’m not sure I should’ve asked for this.

[-] Chadsalot@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Nicest one of these I've ever seen tbh
