That’s what my kids call it! I used to make it for some elderly clients, and they called it a Gaslight. Maybe I’ll make them for dinner…we’re all sick (one wih pneumonia!) and maybe that would suit us.
Sweet Mother of Moses that looks good.
mmm
Never had them or really formed an opinion on them, so I didn’t vote at all.
However, pub trivia recently told me that an alternate name for this is “Hole in One.”
Never encountered this growing up, until I was adult I was ignorant of its easy-to-make goodness. First time I saw it was in one of Matt Martinez’s cookbooks. He calls it a One-Eyed Jack and so Mr. Horseshoe and I do, too.
Cholula is mandatory.
Mom called this “Eggs in a Frame”. The frame being the toast, of course. And the round cutout got fried too, then sprinkled with cinnamon-sugar.
hungry now.
Had these as a kid, I think we called them Scotch eggs.
Scotch eggs are hard-boiled eggs wrapped in sausage, breaded and deep-fried. Of course, you can call anything whatever you want to.
SO makes them, because she says she can’t flip an egg without breaking the yolk.
I make them rarely. They seem a good idea at the time, but if I want egg and toast I’ll just fry an egg and put it on toast. It’s better that way.
No category for never heard of them, don’t fancy 'em much, so I voted for nasty because of the flipping thing. Then someone mentioned breaking the yolk and I actually moaned in horror. Here in the UK we called a broken fried egg ruined. It has to be one of the biggest differences in US/UK cuisine that 
I never had heard of or seen this until my friend moved in with me a few years ago and made them for us. Her mom made them for her when she was a kid. No special name though. Pan-fried bread is delicious!
No poll option applies to me.
Yes I’ve had it. I usually butter the bread first, then use a cup to cut the hole. I save the circular piece and cook it iin the same skillet for use in dunking out the yolk. Mmmmm.
I can’t believe I’ve never made this for my son.
I guess I’m pretty lame, as I never had a name for it.
We’ve always called them a “Hopalong Cassidy”. No idea why. Mrs G’s family has always called them “Egg in a Nest”.
They are called “frog in a hole” in Glitch.
Please do not go on believing that all Americans prefer broken yokes.
Please.
mmm
My family calls it ‘eggs with the hole in the middle’. Some days we ain’t too bright.
I think you’ll find a whole lot of people on this side of the pond also like unbroken yokes. I never noticed any correlation.
ETA: Or what Mean Mr. Mustard said.
I voted for Toad in a Hole but honestly I don’t think we ever had a name for it and the Toad name was something I heard later in life. I don’t think we had it often when I was a kid and we may have just called it egg toast or something like that. I have made it more as an adult.
Broken or hard yolks make Baby Jesus cry. It’s in the bible. Look it up.
Never had them but I saw a similar concept with a pepper ring instead of bread and I’ve been wanting to give that a try.
Yeah, to join the chorus, I literally don’t know of a single person who likes broken yolks. Of course, my data is limited to those who I have observed eating fried eggs for breakfast. Those who don’t like runny yolks generally opt for scrambled eggs, in my experience. Yes, apparently there is a style of fried egg in the US which involves breaking the yolk, but, like I said, it’s not usual in the circles I run in. Like you, it always breaks my heart if I accidentally break a yolk.
On the other hand, I personally don’t see what the big deal about flipping is. It’s basically just upside-down eggs. You still get the runny yolk (unless you cook it to “over hard”), but encapsulated in a nice little package. Almost like a poached egg in looks, except fried.
