    My Mom made these for us too, and now I make them for my son, we call them 'Special Eggs or Eggs in a Basket', Mom would cut the cooked egg and bread into 1/8ths, with the cut out fried circle under the egg becomes little treats to find, I would always leave that til the end, best part! I don't fry my bread ahead of time, I put a lid on to help the egg to cook more evenly.

    My Mom use to fix this for us, but she called it Birds Nest. Which makes sense. Good post.

    I love this easy dish. I didn't know about it at all till I saw it being made in the movie Moonstruck and it drove me crazy to find out what it was. Great pics.

    I love these! Dad used to make them for us when we were kids, but he called them a 'toad in the hole', but they have many names - one of my co-workers calls this an 'egg in a nest'.
