My mother used to call these "flower eggs" because she used a flower shaped cookie cutter for the toast. My kids also love these any time of day.

Always made these for my children, and called them...egg in the nest and they loved them, I still do. Shadow I think all these young people should cook your recipes..than they would know, how good food should really taste. becauce you taste the food, not 20 other tastes. Takes less time, cost less money. and taste better. Sometimes what is old, is really better. Finding your page has made my day...Thanks, Shadows

This is one of our favorite breakfasts. We've always called it "Toad in a Hole", but I honestly don't know why. Thanks for posting it!

My dad always makes this for me! It's a great comfort food. The only difference is that he calls it "eggs in a basket" and we make it without the bacon, although it sounds good this way too. My dad butters both sides of the bread and cooks both sides golden before adding the egg. I love when the egg is lightly cooked so the bread can be dipped in the yolk. This is an awesome breakfast! It's so simple too. thanks for posting!

My husband turned me on to this recipe, and he learned it from his mom. I make it without the bacon. Thanks Chef Shadows!
