    I have always known this to be called either "Egg-In-A-Hole" OR "Toad-In-A-Hole", but perhaps the name is regional. I grew up having this on weekends, when our family was all together for breakfast. Mom always made them using a little bit of bacon drippings in her cast iron frying pan (not butter), and OMG....what delicious flavor the bacon drippings added to the bread, & the bread was nice & crispy around the edges. These were served with sausages, & a side of mom's homemade Loaded Hash Brown Potatoes. Now that I'm an adult, I like them even better just as my parents ate them....using Jewish Rye Bread. This is truly an Oldie-But-A-Goodie, & also super easy to make.
