We grew up calling these popeye eggs! My grandfather was a fisherman and would get up REALLY early and he would make these for my brother and I in the mornings...since we loved Popeye the sailor man...he told us these eggs would make us big and strong!! I feed them to my kids and they love sharing the great memory and such a comforting food! ( But we definitely have to flip them once!) We're an over-medium egg family!

This was such a cute way to make eggs for breakfast. They were really simple also. I had to toast the bread a little longer but thats ok. These came out great.

My kids thought they were ok. If you don't cook them longer than the 2 minutes suggested, they will be runny. I thought it was ok and I probably won't make them again.

This is a very different and creative way to eat breakfast. I never tried these before, my little cousins loved them! I fixed these with ham and cheese on the side. Great recipe!

These are great. We've had theses since I was a kid but, we called them "Toad in a Hole". I fix them for my grandkids (both girls), and they love them too. Sometime's I'll use a heart shaped cookie cutter.

Super easy. I always make it with sourdough bread for a little extra flavor.

This was really neat. We used fat free butter spray to make it much healthier and my husband grabbed sugar cookie cutter to turn the centers into stars, hearts and flowers. Really fun way to serve eggs, my kids wont touch scrambled but they loved these and it brings back memories of my best friends mom making these for us the morning after a sleepover but we called them Peek-a-Boo eggs.

What a cute idea! I put the toast and eggs in at the same time bec I like it fully cooked. Sprincled some garlic salt and pepper in and topped with some maple syrup.

How can you go wrong with egg, butter, and bread for breakfast? My husband and I like to put mayo and mustard rather than egg to make a delicious breakfast sandwich.

i can't believe i wasn't the only one looking for the V for Vendetta egg recipe. i first saw this in a cookbook a few years ago, and (i swear) it was called "rocky mountain eggs". if you put the egg in with the toast, they will finish at the same time.

My dad used to make this for me and my siblings when we were younger. We called it "egg in the toast." He did not brown the bread in the frying pan; instead, he popped it in the toaster so it was lightly toasted, and then he placed the toast in the pan and put the egg in the middle. He would flip the toast once the egg cooked a bit on the bottom. The toast would absorb the butter and it would be nice and crispy, not soggy.

This was a fun way to prepare eggs and toast. Careful of using too much butter, though... mine didn't "toast" up enough, so I had a hard time flipping the bread and egg together.

As others have said this is a great, fun, simple recipe. Goes great with a traditional breakfast with bacon or sausage on the side. Good for a little change of pace at the table.

Its a very easy and fun way to make your eggs and toast all in one step. I used wheat bread and I browned the hole cut outs in the frying pan and served it with the eggs for dipping. I've made this many times since I found this recipe. Try it, its fun!

When I saw this recipe I thought omg this is like the eggy in the basket from V for Vendetta and the recipe looked so simple I had to try it. I just finished eating this and man this was a good breakfast. I used whole wheat bread and I cut out a heart instead of a circle.Next time I makes this I need a bigger boat since the hole I cut was a little to small for my egg. I recomend turning down the heat right before you put you egg in so you don't burn your toast while the egg cooks. Next time I try this I am going to scramble my eggs in a bowl first since I don't like runny yolks as much as scrambled eggs.
