Never had it (I don’t like fried eggs), never heard it called “toad in the hole” (that’s sausage in an egg-based batter).
I discovered these eggs at a Girl Scout campout. We called them Eggs In Toast as best as I can remember. I no longer eat them as I have a food intolerance for eggs, but I think I need to make these for the grandkids, except I’ll use a heart shaped cutter, just like I cut my biscuits with.
I use two slices of bread with a hole in both and call it “a grilled egg sandwich”.
Yes. I knew there was a name that wasn’t on there. Bullseye it is.
You quoted a link, which didn’t cross over, but which did link to other recipes as well, so… it’s all your fault that I’m making bacon jam this weekend. ALL YOUR FAULT!!!
Just made this for breakfast. It was really good. Next time I’d butter the ramekins as well as the bread (it stuck) and put it in for only about 15 minutes (I did 20 and it was a hardboiled egg, basically). I like that you can pop it in the toaster oven before jumping in the shower and breakfast is pretty much ready when you are! Made the house smell great too. Thanks!
My family called them “bull’s eyes”, and I remember having them when camping - never at home. (Bit that could be faulty memeory)

The poll isn’t broken but I didn’t realize it was multiple choice. I had them as a kid, still love them and make them regularly, and they’re called something else. What else? Nothing about toads or baskets or hats, nope.
Close…
Also close…
Wow, very close!
DING DING DING DING!! My parents called them One-Eyed Eqyptians and I’ve never called them anything else. They both grew up in the NYC area, as did I. Since I’ve never heard anyone else use that phrase, I’d sort of figured they made it up and it had some inside-joke meaning. I’m amazed to hear that it was used elsewhere!
I sure hope there isn’t some ethnic slur buried in that usage. 
Called them Egg in a Holes - but all one word, egginnahole. You cut the hole with a drinking glass, and cook that along with the main dish. I haven’t had them for a while, but I think I know what’s for breakfast this weekend.
I think sometimes kids call it something and it becomes that name. When I was a kid, we called them Egg in a Ring, though I think I had heard it called Egg in a Basket/Hole before.
Gas house eggs. Not sure on the origin. Either from North Dakota, or my Dad’s bar days.
Castle’d egg
Had it as a kid, still make it, and we call it “Egg in a hole”, or “Egg in a basket”.
I never knew it even had a name. I cooked it as breakfast for my wife not long after we were married. She, as a woman who cannot start her day without an egg, found them utterly enchanting.
Eggs prepared this way are tasty enough, but they aren’t in the same league with eggs benedict.
I kind of resent “V for Vendetta” for causing all kinds of unwarranted snottiness over whether or not an egg cooked in a piece of bread is authentically British.
One eyed eggs! Yes! Yum1
I just saw a picture of a beautiful variation where the egg is cooked in a single onion ring (not breaded.)
fried egg in an onion ring here’s a link
I am so trying this tomorrow morning!
Ooh, I re-pinned it! Very cool!
I like the Flower Power eggs…the eggs are cooked in bell pepper rings.
