Toad in the Hole
American Toad in a hole is one of the first recipes I had my children prepare when they were learning to cook. Much easier than the European version, this fun egg-in-a-hole is sure to please. My "little ones" are now grown (and have advanced to more difficult recipes!), but this continues to be a traditional standby in my home and theirs. —Ruth Lechleiter, Breckenridge, Minnesota

Cheater way to make eggs in the microwave from 1975! Lol No name either, just when we wanted an egg with a runny middle, we made it this way.
Interesting that i found this recipe after looking for what Iron Chef Guarnaschelli called an egg in the middle of pumpernickel bread “toad in a hole”
One of our favorite breakfast recipes! We cook the Hole in butter and eat it with syrup or jelly.
Love toad in holes! Sorry not everyone calls it the same thing. No need to be rude.
This is such a quick and easy recipe! Very simple to quickly put together when you need a last minute breakfast (or dinner!) and only takes a few minutes. To make it extra cutesy, you can use a cookie cutter to make a shape for the center "hole" - like a little heart or star.
It does make a difference what it's called. If you're doing a search for stuffed mushrooms and a meatball recipe comes up, you're going to be confused and most likely upset. The "toad" in toad in a hole is sausage. The recipe shown here is egg in a frame or egg in a nest!
I have fond memories of my mother making these for me, as her mother had done for her a generation earlier. We just called them eggs in toast! The drinking glass I use to cut out the circle leaves a hole large enough for two eggs, and of course I fry and eat the circle! Not gourmet food of course, but not meant to be. Tasty, easy and economical.
Who cares what itand#039;s called?. It tastes good Nd that is all that matters. How boring is your life that you have to be drama queens over the name of a recipe?
This isn't toad in the hole. This is an egg on (in?) toast. There's not even ONE common ingredient. There's putting a different twist on recipes, and there's making something completely different. This is unbelievably stupid.
In independent America, this is Toad in the Hole. We don’t call sweaters jumpers nor are cookies called biscuits either. This is the recipe I was looking for on Google! Thank you.
