Ha! Anyone Ever Try This?

[MasterBlaster]

It looks like it might just work. You probably need to twist the yolk.

[Skwerl]

It just might work for what? Making your eggs and toast harder to eat? I like using my toast as a pusher to get my eggs on my fork. :P

Damn, this is making me hungry. I might just have to go hit the diner for breakfast. :/:

[woodworkingboy]

If it doesn't work, you might end up with a bit of a mess. Is there a name for that recipe? Eggs in a t shirt...serve with pigs in a blanket.

[cybergeek23851]

It's egg in a basket. I usually use a hearty wheat bread, pepper-crusted bacon, and a little french-styled gruyère when I make it.

[MasterBlaster]

There you go! :thumbup:

[hugashe]

it was called frog in a hole when i was a younger kid.

[Frans]

hole in the head egg

How'd you get the groovy accent mark in there, Mr. Fancycheeseeatin'guy ?!?
And I forget what that mark is called ? >>> been 30 years since I had any French classes.
:P
Eggs-in-the-nest is yummy... if somebody else cooks 'em for me !

[DMc]

It'll work if it's done right! Needs to be cooked on a griddle, like you would for french toast or pancakes, so there's room to cook the centers that you cut out. Lots of real butter to keep everything turnable.

I'm originally from Massachusetts and I know for a fact, these things are called sailors in a boat! 'Cause that's what my dad told me! :D

Quite a memorable Sunday breakfast.

yup, egg in a nest is what we called them, havent made it in ages though.

I even used to take the square you cut out of the bread, butter (margarine at the time) it and put it in the pan to get it crunchy. :)

[Che]

My daughter makes them all the time. Cracker Barrel serves them in their restaurant.

[Mr. Sir]

Heck yea!!! Egg in a basket! We use cookie cutters to make different shapes in the bread. :|:

[Mr. Sir]

We went to Cracker Barrel this morning for breakfast after Mass, but I didn't see that on the menu. I had the Sunrise Sampler, yummy.

[Che]

I'll look when I go back again.....but as CHEAP as I am, it won't be real soon.

(I usually eat off the children's menu there, though....so it's not that bad)

[Mr. Sir]

My wife's out of town this week, so I took 6 of the kids there this morning. It was only $35.55 plus tip. Much less than I expected. I told them "no toys, just brunch."

[NickfromWI]

Karina had this a lot when she was little. She says it's called "toad in a hole."

Seems like a waste of time to me.

I guess it's fun for a little kid, though.

We just had eggs and toast for breakfast today. There was no hole, nor any toad.

love

[lumberjack]

That's similar to one way "we" (south) make French toast.

The other way is to dip the bread in the egg and pan fry it.

[stig]

The real good way is to mix a little milk, egg and some good cheese, gruyere maybe ( which is swiss and not french, btw!) turn the breadslices over in that and fry them. The cheese gives a nice crunchy coating.

[MasterBlaster]

Isn't that called French Toast?

[GASoline71]

it was called frog in a hole when i was a younger kid.

Same here... :)

Gary

[Che]

Isn't that called French Toast?

Not with the cheese....maybe Swiss toast?? :P

[Paul B]

I used to put a couple slices of cheddar on the top of the egg in the nest, then flip it to cook the other side and WHAMMO! you got yourself a crust!

[Che]

Doesn't the cheese just melt? High-ish heat?

[MasterBlaster]

It's just cheesy French Toast, which sounds good to me.

[Che]

Anything with cheese sounds good to you, Butch! ;)

[MasterBlaster]

That non fat crap won't melt, lol.

[Paul B]

Che, for the cheeze to get a bit of a crust you need the pan to be warm and be a little patient, let it melt then let it get a crust, kind of the same idea as putting garlic bread with cheese under the broiler, it melts first, then it gets crunchy. :)

edit: doing it that way I remember a bunch of liquid comes out of the cheeze as it melts, I think it was some of the fat. and yeah, plastic cheese dont melt ;)

[MasterBlaster]

You damn skippy!!! http://www.thecomputermechanics.com/forums/images/smilies/168.gif

[Che]

I just remembered my dad taking a block of Romano cheese, cutting 1" square chunks and roasting them over the gas stove with a fork. Stunk to high heaven, but tasted wonderful!

Speaking of cheese....that is......

I know it's a hard swiss cheese(err is supposed to be), however it can be of a french-style, meaning soft and creamy in consistancy and with holes in it. :P

Don't ever say that to the swiss. They'll burn you at the stake!!!

[vharrison]

It looks like it might just work. You probably need to twist the yolk.

I just can not believe you have never seen that before!

[MasterBlaster]

Hey, you didn't know what spooning was!

[woodworkingboy]

Speaking of cheese, smoked cheese is great stuff, and with a smoker only takes about two hours. The great thing is that you can use the cheap processed cheese, and turn it into excellent tasting....no need for expensive cheese. I add spices and smoke it in my woodstove.

[sotc]

ive had it but like skwerl said, i prefer to mop my eggs up with toast

[Paul B]

re smoked cheese. I had smoked gouda once, didnt find it tasty at all. :(

[hmm]

gee - all i would get as a child was oatmeal or farina.

i feel deprived.

[Rotax Robert]

Which reminds me, I need to go bump the mop thread again. :D

your avatar shows that you were indeed deprived as a child:D

I've made 'em...I like 'em...:D

[CurSedVoyce]

We love egg in a basket here. The toast portion gets real buttery in the pan and it really does taste different cooked together.

[rfwoodvt]

Here's a version you might find deelish

Cook up your egg in a basket and also fry up costco burger patti.

Put the burger on top of your egg-in-a-basket and smother with a sour-cream, horseradish & dill sauce.

Cheddar, swiss or other "real" cheese takes it up a notch.

:P Orgasmic! :O

[Stumper]

I like eggs in a nest okay. Stig's recipe sounds yummy.... but since I'm about 3/4 of the way through tonight's steak I'll try it another time.

[Wagnaw]

I eat that all the time. I've also made two and put a couple slices of cheese between as a sandwich for lunch.


...problem was though, once I ate that.... definitely felt it while climbing later. Blah.

[Paul B]

had an egg in a nest for breakfast today, shoved a piece of cheddar into the egg before it set, tasty!

[top hopper]

I make them all the time. They are great.

[sotc]

i like my eggs soft scrambled and piled on top of mytoast!

[Hobby Climber]

Just read this post.

I grew up on this stuff but I always knew it to be called, "Egg in a Hole"!

Think it was the first thing I ever learned to cook on the stove! Even taught my girls how to make it when they were younger...more fun than practical.

Wife went up to the inlaws place today, met up with some folk from Puerto Rico, she walked away with a pound of ground coffee... I find myself going to the counter and putting the bag to my nose to take a few sniffs, this stuff smells delicious.

[Labour of Love]

How'd you get the groovy accent mark in there, Mr. Fancycheeseeatin'guy ?!?

Eggs-in-the-nest is yummy... if somebody else cooks 'em for me !

It's a diacritical mark called an "accent grave". Sorry, I couldn't help myself - all those years of proofreading.

recon on the coffee... Fail.
bitter and way strong, no thanks.

[woodworkingboy]

Too bad, maybe you could just stuff your pillow with it or something.

[Al Smith]

It's a diacritical mark called an "accent grave". . What, this thing ~ ? --or this thing `.They are both right above the left tab button . This one is shift 6 ^.

As far as the eggs ,I prefer them over medium ,yolks and all thank you with rye toast and real butter .

The backwards apostrophe is the accent grave.
