Dunkin' Donuts' New Cinnamon Twists

Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?

A Hole in One!!!! My grandfather used to make these for me when I was a very little girl, visiting him in Lancaster, PA. He was not a golfer. He was first-generation American of Swedish descent, who had grown up in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Some great names here - I love Egyptian Eyes especially! But wow: over 200 comments, and apparently no one else calls them "top hats". (And yes, I always thought my mother invented them, too. :) )

Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?

My hubby made these for me for me all the time when we were in college - we call them Eggs in a Basket.

Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?

@Ed Levine - My mom called them "Egyptian eggs" as well. I think me, you and Embackus's friend were the only one. It seems to be the least known name for them.

Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?

Everyone knows it's called a "bunny egg". My grandmother invented it.

From Serious Eats

Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?

Growing up Dad called it a Bulls Eye (from Rhode Island). We always loved when Dad had to make breakfast! He cut the hole with a shot glass so the hole was just big enough for the yolk part and the rest of the egg ran over the bread so you had to flip it and cook that side too! Just don't over cook it and it won't be dry. The hardest part was buttering both sides of the bread. I get around that now by using a brush and softened butter.

Bobby Flay's Burger Chain Opens on Long Island: Bobby's Burger Palace

In SO FL, where the Latino population is quite large, almost any sandwich you order from an authentic place has commercial potato sticks on it as a matter of course. This is NOT true for the traditional Cuban sandwich, but for pretty much any other kind you get potato sticks. Kobey's (sp?) is one popular store brand here, but the quality varies dramatically from can to can. Sometimes they are fresh and a tiny bit under-cooked, pale and tasty. Many times they are over-cooked and and darker and lose that fresh flavor for one that is slightly, well, flat with a distinct aftertaste. So, the burger-with-chips is not at all unheard of idea.

I've seen this before, though I'm fairly sure it was called "A Lactose Intolerant's Worst Nightmare".

Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?

My mom always called this "egg in a hat" - I guess when you put the cut-out circle back on top of the hole in the toast, without pushing it all the way in, it looks a little like a hat...

Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?

My mama has been making this as long as I can remember. It's called the One Eyed Sailor Egg in our house...

Never saw them till I married my ex when he used to fix them for our kids. He called them Toad in the Hole.

Egg in Toast: What Do You Call It?


Cut two holes in the bread and drop in two eggs and call it " here's looking at you" You could even put at the bottom a piece of bacon for the mouth- curve it upwards at the ends to make it smile.
That's presentation! Dave

Mom and Gandma called it TOAD-IN-A-HOLE, must be the correct name, Mom and Grandma 'God rest their Souls' were never wrong!

Eggs in a Frame...came from a Betty Crocker cookbook I had when I was a little girl, a long, long time ago!!! That and "Cheese Dreams", which was english muffins, slice of tomato, bacon, and (ugh) velveeta cheese under a broiler...my 2 favorite meals!!!

My husband and I call them Moonstruck eggs, but my 100 year old grandmother calls them "Moon Over Miami"

gueralinda....sorry, Toad in the Hole is a banger/sausage in Yorkshire pudding batter. I'm English, live in England and eat Toad in the Hole at least twice per month. Bubble & Squeak is another favorite of mine....but that's off topic.

Cheers!
