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. :) )

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

@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.

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

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...

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.

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!

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!

Toad in the Hole. Toad in the Hole. Toad in the Hole. Anything else is just wrong! Actually, in the interest of sociology, we should all be putting the source of our name here as well, for example, my Dad called them toad in the hole. He grew up in the tri-cities, WA, and is of scotch-english background.

My Mom always called this (my favorite breakfast EVER!) eggy-in-a-hole, but for some reason by the time I was in college I picked up the name "Gaslight Special" from a roommate.

Weird.
