eggs in a basket

Toast with hole

Eggs in a basket is a dish where an egg is fried inside a hole cut in a slice of bread, cooking both together so the bread absorbs some of the runny yolk.

Also called toad in a hole, egg in a frame, or one-eyed jack, among many regional names: I made eggs in a basket for breakfast.
