Edit: (Slice of bread with a hole cut in the middle and an egg fried in it.) I have always called them daddy-o eggs but I have recently been informed that is incorrect.-
Egg in a basket
Toad-in-the-hole! Maybe. We only ever had them like once, scrambled eggs were far more common.

Southeast US
New Jersey.
Vancouver checking in
Ontario Canada. Toad in the hole/egg in the hole. Piggy in a blanket is a sausage wrapped in a pancake.
“Toad-in-the-hole” sounds British to me.
Edit: @[email protected] said “toad-in-the-hole” refers to something else, some other breakfast food.

Sausage in Yorkshire pudding! Unless that’s called bread in the US in which case we are several layers deep into this word inception.
It’s bloody delicious too.

(Just say batter, the word “pudding” will make their heads explode.)
It’s batter pre-cook, pudding post-cook, and yes you’re damn right it’s bloody delicious.
Then what is a pancake? Same batter, but different cooking method.

AFAIA, The pudding part is because pudding referred to meat dishes long before it was used for sweet dishes, and yorkshire pudding used to be exclusively served with meat - which is likely tightly linked to the original meaning of toad in the hole!
I’m in Australia, we call this one with an egg “toad in a hole”, I’ve never seen the one with a sausage.

Alabama eggs cuz it’s in bread. I have usually called them egg in hole.
Suppose this is now what I call them too
Eggs in a basket, toad in a hole, one eyed jack, eggs in a nest
Isn’t toad in the hood sausages in Yorkshire pudding?
“Toad in the Hood” is the gritty HBO sequel to “The Wind in the Willows” that takes place after Toad breaks out of prison.
yes.
A long-ago girlfriend made us these for breakfast, and called them glory holes. Seriously, circa 1975. She had no idea, said her family had always called them glory holes.

No this is the most insane thing my wife calls them pigs in a blanket. I told her that’s not what it’s called that’s something else but she refuses and is trying to have our children call it that as well. I’ve married a psycho.
It’s not too late. If you crack enough eggs on her head, you might be able to scramble her brains and hard reset her.
Not sure it has a “correct” name. I grew up having it called “egg in a hole,” but depending on where you’re from there are different names. I know people who call it “egg in a nest.” Wikipedia says:
There are many names for the dish, including “bullseye eggs”, “eggs in a frame”, “egg in a hole”, “eggs in a nest”, “gashouse eggs”, “gashouse special”, “gasthaus eggs”, “hole in one”, “one-eyed Jack”, “one-eyed Pete”, “one-eyed Sam”, “pirate’s eye”, and “popeye”.[7][8][9][10] The name “toad in the hole” is sometimes used for this dish,[7] though that name more commonly refers to sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding batter.
I can also attest to hearing “eggs in a basket” and “toad in a hole” growing up. My son has just dubbed the dish “egg bread” and requested it almost daily. He also calls fried eggs “dip eggs” and boiled eggs “shape eggs.” He was probably 3 when he solidified these terms, but they have all stuck, 6 years later.
Toad in a hole in the UK is a vastly different dish of sausages baked into a Yorkshire pudding
I’ve never understood this “dish” I’d pretty much 100% if the time prefer a fried egg on an in tact piece of toast.
To me it’s just something fun to do when I’m bored with scrambled and over easy. Also if you use a good amount of butter in the pan, you can fry the little chunk of bread that was removed and that tastes great.
Did you meant to ask “What do YOU” call this dish?
Because the “correct” name probably changes every 100 miles [161km]
Yes and thank you.
Ah, then I’d call it “eggs in a hole”
I’ve known it as egg-in-the-nest, spoken as one word.
Unless you live with the one who corrected you, just keep calling it what you know it to be.
We call this egg-in-the-hole, which I am just realizing is not very original, but there it is. It is also necessary to fry the bread “holes” they are a nice bonus.
This. Egg-in-a-hole is the name for it in my country.
Egg-in-a-Hole
“Egg in toast”.
We were a creative family.
Didn’t see this one here yet: sunshine toast
