Toad in the Hole Bake

Sounds delicious, but it's NOT "Toad in the Hole"!

The English classic actually consists of sausages in a baking tray, submerged in Yorkshire pudding batter baked at fairly high heat. The result is delicious, golden brown, crisp and almost souffle-like. Usually served as a dinner dish with mashed potatoes and peas, or "Bubble and Squeak" (Fried left-over greens or brussels sprouts, and, optionally, bacon bits combined into mashed patatoes).

Fun to make

I tried this with my 7 year old son. He liked cracking the egg into the bread. I would recommend baking for 15 minutes to make sure the egg is set. This makes the yolk just a little runny, but not much. The bread is a bit dry after it is baked. It's an OK dish for that reason. My son liked it with ketchup for dipping.

I have been making this for years! Except I called it
"Bird in a Nest" and cooked in on the stove top in a frying pan...similarly to making grilled cheese. Kids love it!

Great for hangovers

You could also cook this over the stove as well as bake it in the oven. My mother use to make these for me all the time and call them Pop-Eye Sandwiches. And as I've gotten older, I still love them, and learned that they are great for hangovers also.

Family favorite

Our family has made these for years , but ours we cut out in the middle of the bread and crack the egg into the hole. Don't do the cheese and all. We sometimes do hearts, other shape cookie cutters we have for fun. We call them "nest eggs". We make them in the skillet with butter.

Kids loved it!

Made it for the kids, they really liked it. First time I've made this in the oven though, and I ended up overcooking it a bit and the bread burned a little. Second try was better, I kept a closer eye on the oven. I'm used to making Toad in a Hole as single portions on a skillet, just cut a hole in only 1 slice of bread and drop the egg in and fry.

My father-in-law introduced this to me several years ago and said they made these when he was in the army, and they all called it a "Bullseye".

I remember these

alittleaboutme_verylittle - May 13, 2007 06:57:17 PM PST

My mother made these for me as a kid...I had forgotten all about them. They were fried though not baked....and mom called them a 'One-eyed Egg'. I know what I'm having for breakfast in the morning.

My Mom used to make this for us when I was little. We put grape jelly on it. Makes me smile to think about it

Toad in a Hole - not!

Daisy B - May 13, 2007 02:35:18 PM PST

While this might be an interesting and tasty breakfast for the kids, you's better find a new name. This is not at all anything like the real toad in a hole, which is a sausage dishbaked in a sort of souffle. Give it a new name, and I'll go with it.

my way

Edward N - September 9, 2008 09:03:36 PM PST

I make this without the cheese and bacon. America is to obsessed with cheese which is highly over rated in my opinion. Kids weren't crazy about it because of no cheese, told them to fix their own and enjoyed it myself.

Toad In The Hole Bake

K S - May 13, 2007 05:03:48 AM PST

This is a travesty - call it a rubbish recipe and I would get it. Or Egg in a slice of bread with formula cheese on top, fine. However, do not mix it with what actually is a regional English dish created to fill poor peoples's hungry stomaches.
