Bow down before the bread you're served

Weird Al wants to know your location

[–] tomatobeard@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Also the name of my favorite Nine Inch Nails song.

Looks great!

[–] TheFriar@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

Lol my brain automatically said, “I’d rather die than give you control” after reading this title

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

We always called it a Toad in a Hole. But we'd always stack ham and cheese over it with the bread piece on the very top. My father was always excited to make them for everyone on the weekends.

[–] Tumnus@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

My family called these bird nests

[–] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

One-eyed Jack was what my father called it.

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Ooh, I do like that name as well.

[–] spacemanspiffy@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

This is what my Dad called it and you are the first person I've ever heard besides him do it.

I wonder if it's regional, are you from NY/New England area?

Sometimes he would also call it "Frog in a Log" but that could have just been him being goofy.

The "official" name I've heard since then is Eggs in a Basket.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Toad in a hole is sausage in a pie dough, but it seems that name was reused in a limited number of us regions. Egg+bread is egg in a nest in pretty much all other UK colonized regions and in the UK.

[–] ma11en@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

In the UK toad in the hole is sausages in Yorkshire pudding.

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago

Yep not sure why I said pie dough, this is what happens when I Lemmy before coffee

We called it “eggs in the basket”

[–] Duranie@lemmy.film 3 points 1 year ago

I grew up with "egg in a nest."

[–] xtr0n@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 year ago

Growing up in New England we called them “egg with a hat”

[–] Alteon@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Yeah, Eastern Seaboard. Could be Regional.

[–] Zimmy@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's one glamorous bread hole

[–] LoneGansel@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Thanks. I'm trying to do a bit more with my presentation. There's a balance between pretty and not enough food and this teeters right on the edge of that in my opinion.

[–] atomicorange@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I think berries deserve to be in an abundant glistening pile! Two sliced berries is a pretty decoration but leaves me feeling a little sad.

We like to call this Bregg in my house but our doesn't look this fancy. It looks great, although the cut berries seems a little extra.

[–] XaeroDegreaz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

We call this "hobo bread" lol. Good stuff

I grew up in the Midwest US and we called this a "Gashouse". No idea why.

[–] rynzcycle@kbin.social 6 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I also don't know why I grew up in the midwest, but I generally regret it.

(We called it toad in a hole, sausage in croissant dough was pigs in a blanket).

[–] canthidium@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I've just never really understood these at all. The egg/bread ratio in each bite is just off. I'd rather just put the egg on top of the toast and enjoy egg + toast in every bite. What am I missing?

[–] wholeofthemoon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You're not missing anything. It's for children.

[–] LoneGansel@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah considering the effort I'll end up just making a poached egg on toast the next time around. I can punch circles out of toast and be fancy without sacrificing flavor.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Toad in the hole.... uncultured heathen!

[–] JoBo 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I saw someone on Mastodon call it that. You are both a disgrace (sorry). This is toad in the hole (sausages baked in Yorkshire pudding).

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

Let me tell you what! I'm 'merican and we ain't gotta make sense of these here thangs.

[–] Strawberry@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

pirate's eye.... lubberly scallywag!

[–] I_Fart_Glitter@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)
[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It was always just called 'egg in a basket' in my family.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

I'll allow it.

Aha I love what you did with the "hole" - I usually just lay it back on top of the egg

I make it into garlic bread because why not?

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Magnificent! What kind of bread is that?

[–] LoneGansel@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Thank you!! It's from the country sourdough loaf I posted yesterday!

[–] Rai@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 year ago

Absolutely delicious-looking bread. That’s on my list to try to make, now that I’ve got a nice stand mixer. You killed it!

[–] isendmemes@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Take it easy on the sides, buddy

[–] Pohl@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I’m not sure I should’ve asked for this.

[–] Chadsalot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Nicest one of these I've ever seen tbh

[–] Pothetato@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Pretty but that yolk better not be overcooked!

[–] LoneGansel@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It broke when I flipped things but it was still jammy inside! Next time I think I'll toast one side of the bread, flip it, then break my egg in and cook things covered so I'm not having to flip things.

[–] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Looks like the yolk broke while cooking. Some people don't like runny yolks, so it might have been intentional.

[–] WoahWoah@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

This is a BEATIFUL dish. I do think more berries would work, but it's a hard to argue with the very nicely balanced and striking presentation.

It screams for a strong berry mimosa accoutrement! 😁
