Answer 1

Egg in the basket


An egg in the basket, or egg (or eggs) in a basket, is a fried egg cooked within the confines of a piece of toast whose center has been removed.

Preparation typically begins by cutting a circular hole in the center of a piece of bread with a cookie cutter or upside down glass (or simply pinching out a half-dollar sized hole). The bread is then fried in a pan with butter, margarine or cooking oil. When browned satisfactorily, the egg is cracked into the "basket" cut into the toast. The egg is then fried to the desired consistency. When eaten, the bread and egg yolk mix readily, giving this egg dish its special quality.

Alternate recipes, for those preparing this simple dish and do not have access to a stove, call for the bread and egg to be microwaved. Some people will say that cooking this egg recipe is easier than cooking eggs alone, because the bread adds stability if the cook wishes to flip the egg. Some people put the cut-out circle of bread back on the finished toast and egg, adding a type of "lid" to the "basket". Others will break the yolk within the "basket" while it is frying, in order to let the bread more evenly absorb the flavor. It is commonly served with ketchup, jam, or cheese.

Other names
There are many different names for this dish. It is also known as "eggs in the middle", a "hole in the wall", a "spit in the eye", an "egg in a hole", and, inaccurately enough, "egg with a hole in the middle". They are also known as "bullseye eggs" because they appear to have three rings; one ring made by the bread, one by the egg white, and one by the yolk. In North America, this dish is frequently referred to as "Toad in the hole", not to be confused with the British dish of the same name.

Other names include: "one-eyed egyptian", "cowboy eggs", "egg in toast", "eggs in a blanket", "egg in a hat", "egg in a well", "eggs in a frame", "eggs in a nest", "bird (or birdie) in the nest", "eggy toast", "Eye Openers", "gas house eggs", "gasthaus eggs", "hole in one", "one-eyed jacks", "one-eyed sailor sandwich", "popeye eggs", "rocky mountain eggs", "wes-egg", "Egyptian fish eye", "peekaboo toast", "egg in the window", "eggie' in a basket" and "sunshine toast".

Answer 2

Egg in a Hole
(Featured on KATV’s Daybreak May 2, 2005)

Ingredients

1 slice of bread
1 egg
1 blob of butter
2 large eggs
Some salt
Tools

A biscuit cutter
A measuring cup
A frying pan, or stove top grill, nonstick
A heat–proof spatula
A plate
Tools

Cut out a circle of bread from the middle of the slice with the biscuit cutter. Keep the circle. Carefully crack the egg into the cup. Be careful not to break the yolk. Fish out any bits of shell.

Heat a blob of butter in the frying pan or on the grill on medium heat until it starts to fizz. Put the circle of bread into the butter and let it cook for a minute or so until the bottom is brown. Using the spatula, carefully lift the bread out of the pan and put it on the plate.

If all the butter is gone, put a little bit more into the pan and when it fizzles put the slice of bread with the hole in the middle into the pan. Carefully pour the egg into the hole in the bread and let it cook until it looks ready. The egg white should not be runny or clear. About 3-4 minutes. Add a little salt if you use it. Put the bread circle on top of the egg and carefully lift the whole thing out of the pan with the spatula and serve on the plate.

We call that "Scotch fried egg".

We do two rounds of bread and fry them on one side, then cut a hole out (about the size of a yoke) and put that cut piece into the fry pan so that the already fried side is facing upwards. Sprinkle a little salt over the bread and then crack a egg into the hole and encourage the white part of the egg to spread with the aid of a fork.

Now place the second half fried piece (with no hole) over the egg so that the fried side is down. Now you have to slowly fry the two sides of the finished sandwich (turn it over once the bottom side is done. Cook until you think the egg white has set.

Speed is of the essence, if you can place the second half fried piece of bread on top of the egg whilst it is still very hot, that will aid the cooking of the egg white.

We use Olive oil as the frying medium (it's healthier). If you can retain the soft egg yoke then it is really delicious snack when you cut into it.

Answer 4

It's definitely Eggs in a Basket. But to call it Toad in a Hole as some people have suggested is wrong. It's ok to call it that in America, but in Britain that is a completely different dish made with sausages, Yorkshire puddings and gravy.

Answer 5

I've heard a couple. The others mentioned earlier and also Egg in a nest. Also if the top of a guys head looks like that it means he is going bald.

Answer 6

It's original name was 'Gas House Egg' but it has evolved to be called all the above in the various corners or the world.

It is a heart attack waiting to happen but if you want to guarantee a coronary may i suggest the simple variation of adding cheese on top?

Hope this helps.

Enjoy the heart murmurs.
