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.-

Toad-in-the-hole! Maybe. We only ever had them like once, scrambled eggs were far more common.

I'm in Australia, we call this one with an egg "toad in a hole", I've never seen the one with a sausage.

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 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.

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.

Did you meant to ask "What do YOU" call this dish?

Because the "correct" name probably changes every 100 miles [161km]

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.

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.

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.

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.

We call this egg-in-the-hole, which I am just realizing is not very original, but there it is. It is also necessary to fry the bread "holes" they are a nice bonus.

This. Egg-in-a-hole is the name for it in my country.

I've known it as egg-in-the-nest, spoken as one word.

Unless you live with the one who corrected you, just keep calling it what you know it to be.

I'd call that one a 'blue plate'.

I see more green than blue, like a seafoam green.

I'm curious what others see? My wife and I have this back and forth of what's a shade of blue vs green with some things around the house. Gar as I know I'm not colour blind, but I'm aware that some people have better colour perception than others so it really does make me wonder.

Egg in a frame

But the bread needs to be cooked in butter like a grilled cheese.

Sometimes called a Bird's Nest or a variation of that.

With stuff like this, there often are no 'correct' names. If you call it daddy-o eggs, that's what it's called in your house/family.

Toad in the hole.

Or avocado toast if there's avocado spread on it too.

Flowery!

Or Ted. You can call the dish Ted, if you want.

Another vouch for egg in a hole. Not to be confused with “egg toast” which is cubed and buttered toast with a soft boiled egg mixed in.

My family call them bird nests, but are inspired by egg in a hole.

Flying saucer, especially when you balance the little cut out piece of bread on top of the egg.

I am pretty sure you hid Grogu underneath that egg.

Are the eggs cooked in a hole in the center of the bread?

This sounds like a recipe request!

-put a hole in your slice of bread
-butter both sides and set the pan on medium low heat
-toast the buttered bread in the pan and season it with salt (I toast both sides because the egg cooks pretty fast.)
-put a little tab of butter into the pan in the center of the hole
-crack an egg into the hole.
-little bit of salt on the egg and wait until the whites are almost set; a little bit of cooking spray on the egg if you're unsure about the non-stickness of your pan
-flip and wait until you achieve your perfect yolk
-plate and add ground pepper or whatever you desire

I honed my technique during COVID quarantine days.

An alternative:
-toast a slice of bread in a pan with butter and salt
-soft boil an egg
-serve the egg over the toast or use an egg cup and dip slivers of the toast into the egg

It's Showtime, Fried in the name of Bread ye not too runny.

We must have been alone but we called it Egg-Toastie-O's

Nesting eggs!

Or eggy in a basket if you're talking to Natalie Portman

My wife introduced it to me as something her family called a “Hollywood egg” I guess due to fact you feel so glamorous eating one.

For some reason my wife’s family calls them “hobo eggs”

Chicken in a basket

Bunnies in a basket. North East U.S. once almost done cooking, we would put a slice of preferred cheese on top, eat like an open sandwich.

In Canada we would call it Texas Toast. But it's usually thicker square, white bread.

We don't call it that. It's just thick toast. And the dish is toad-in-the-hole.

eta: yes I know the British toad is a different dish. Fanny means something different there too.
