I usually use a small glass or measuring cup, then press it into the bread. I then butter the bread on both sides (kind of messy), then drop it into a preheated pan, then crack the egg into it.
The way I was shown, was to fold the bread in half, take a bite out of the middle so it makes a hole, drop it in the pan, crack an egg and pour it in the hole.
I had a dispute with my girlfriend on whether the eggs-cooked-in-a-hole-of-bread was called "eggs in a basket" or "eggs in a frame" I guess they're both right.
lololol maybe you could make some cooking with stuff that comes in containers. lol a little tuna salad... or tuna with mayo and boiled egg on a bread. instant w1n
hehe, well, I looked that up just to see if I was remembering it correctly, toad in the hole seems to be something totally different, but I also had images showing the egg in bread...strange. Maybe it has different meaning sin the UK and Eastern Canada :P
