    That’s beautiful!

    My partner and I have a long standing argument about the terminology for this though. He grew up calling it eggs in a basket. But my dad called it “Yankee toast.” Someone else I know called it egg in a hole.

    I mean, is delicious whatever it’s called. But we’ve been (good naturedly) fighting about this for years.

    My mom used to make me that when I was a kid. I still somehow love that memory. The person not so much but the memories positive

    Toad in a hole. They’re borderline magical with the right bread.

    Evey: The first morning I was with him, he made me eggs just like this.

    Gordon Deitrich: Really?

    Evey Hammond: I swear.

    Gordon Deitrich: That is a strange coincidence. Although, there’s an obvious explanation.

    Evey Hammond: There is?

    Gordon Deitrich: Yes, Evey. I am V. At last you know the truth. You’re stunned, I know. It’s hard to believe isn’t it, that beneath this wrinkled, well-fed exterior there lies a dangerous killing machine with a fetish for Fawkesian masks. ¡Viva la revolución!

    Evey Hammond: That is *not* funny, Gordon.

    Gordon Deitrich: [sighs] Yeah, I know. I’m useless without a studio audience.

    I think you’re in the wrong sub, that egg is *in* it, not *on* it.

  8. We always called this a hole in one growing up. Love eating these.
