Ingredients

8 slices of bread (I prefer wheat)

8 eggs

8 slices American cheese

butter (or margerine)

salt & pepper

Directions

Butter both sides of bread. Cut out a circle in the middle of each slice using a biscuit cutter or drinking glass.

Warm a skillet on medium heat.

Place bread in skillet and break egg into hole. Add salt & pepper to taste.

Flip a few times to make sure the egg gets fully cooked. When the egg is almost done put a slice of cheese on top to melt.

You can also fry the circles of bread you cut out earlier. We used to fight for these pieces as kids.

I've heard it called a variety of things, including "toad in a hole", "one-eyed pirates", "bullseye", "hole in one", and I'm sure there are others. It's fun to see how the name changes based on locale.

I never had these as a kid but always wondered what they were called after I saw the dish being made in Moonstruck with Cher. They have been a staple in this house ever since that movie. Since I didn't have a name for the dish we called them noname eggs LOL. I never thought to add cheese to it before but am going to try that way very soon. Thanks for posting

I had it before and love it something new and different and love the taste and when you bust the yolk it goes well with hash browns.
