Also the name of my favorite Nine Inch Nails song.

Looks great!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

My family called these bird nests

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Ooh, I do like that name as well.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

One-eyed Jack was what my father called it.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (4 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 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”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I grew up with "egg in a nest."

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Yeah, Eastern Seaboard. Could be Regional.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

That's one glamorous bread hole

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We call this "hobo bread" lol. Good stuff

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Popeye toast!

Toad in the hole.... uncultured heathen!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

pirate's eye.... lubberly scallywag!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

You shut your fuckin philistine mouth

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 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).

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

I make it into garlic bread because why not?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Take it easy on the sides, buddy

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Magnificent! What kind of bread is that?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

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

[–] [email protected] 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!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Pretty but that yolk better not be overcooked!

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 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.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

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

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Nicest one of these I've ever seen tbh

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This is a BEATIFUL dish. I do think more berries would work, but it's a hard to argue with the very nicely balanced and striking presentation.

It screams for a strong berry mimosa accoutrement! 😁
