I picked “something else” as the closest option, but the truth is I’ve never seen nor heard of this way of cooking an egg.
Runny yolk is disgusting. Numerous people have freaked out when they’ve seen me deliberately break the yolk when cooking eggs for myself.
I vaguely recall them being called Mary Janes.
No idea why.
I absolutely agree. I always break the yoke. Plain soft white part of the egg is revolting. Spread some sunshine over that stuff.
I call it “too much trouble.”
Runny yolk is the food of the gods. Yum.
As long as there’s a bit of runny white to go with it I’m right there with ya dear @carrps.
Since we’ve moved into the tangent portion of our thread, has anyone else seen a decided increase in egg prices in the store just in time for holiday baking?
A month or so ago, a dozen large grade A eggs were pretty consistently around 1.99 USD, with periodic sales (normally limited to one or two cartons only) of $.99.
As of the last week or two, they’ve been steady at $2.99 a dozen. But that may just be my area and stores. So I was wondering if anyone else was seeing an increase in price for their potential Rye of Sauron. 
Add me in with the people who are only familiar with the dish because of V For Vendetta, but I call it “egg in a basket” because “eggy in the basket” sounds far too cutesy and quaint for my tastes. Cut out the middle of the bread, cut the middle piece in half, melt butter in the pan, fry the bread and half-moons, add more butter, flip, crack the egg into the hole, let it cook until the white starts to set, then flip again to finish it overeasy. Use the half-moons cut out of the toast for sopping up runny yolk.
This is one of the only two contexts I’ll eat overeasy eggs in, the other being slung on top of a skillet of mixed fried potatoes and meat and veggies and cheese, where the yolk drips into the rest of the food and kind of parcooks from the residual heat. I know a diner in Seattle that serves a version of that second dish, which they call the “Mercer Mess” on account of it being located near the Mercer St / I-5 intersection, which is always a nightmare during commute hours ever since Amazon devoured the entirety of South Lake Union.
Aw, c’mon. Serve it with some veggies to the littles for brekkie.
mmm
I shall do no such thing! Good day to you, sir!
I was out late and ended up having this as part of breakfast-for-dinner. Yum.
Eggy-weggie. With a side of Spam.
