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
This is what we called it in my household, as well.
Eggs in a basket.
This is the answer. At least, it’s the only thing I’ve ever heard someone not from the internet call it.
I learned this term for it from the film V for Vendetta which isn’t a great source but seems more reliable than the crazy people in this thread.
Toad-in-the-hole! Maybe. We only ever had them like once, scrambled eggs were far more common.

Not GP, but I’ve always called this Toad in the hole. Western USA.
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: @fluke@lemmy.world said “toad-in-the-hole” refers to something else, some other breakfast food.

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
Toad in a hole is what I’ve always heard it called
Toad in the hole is sausages in a big yorkshire pudding.
The name must have been appropriated to refer to this eggy bread meal.
To be fair, I’ve never heard a name for it before.
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
Fanny means something different there too. Ain’t dialect a thing?
“Gashouse eggs” is the one I’ve heard most. Nice Great Depression-era ring to it.
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”
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.
Aren’t pigs in a blanket when you wrap a sausage in a pancake? Hence, you know, pigs?
Our use of that term is a hot dog wrapped in biscuit, similar idea.
Bacon, isn’t it?
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.
Bregg
Bregg’s it
Toad in the hole.
That’s sausage in Yorkshire pudding
Brits call sausage in toast toad in the hole. On this side of the Atlantic it’s egg .
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.
I call it redneck egg
Why? Both are in bread
Mom called them egg-inna-basket.
Scoutmaster called them buckeyes.
Other scout dad called them toad-inna-hole.
Another scout called them one-eyed-jack.
I don’t make them, so I don’t call them anything.
