Add a litte sausage or bacon and you have a full breakfast. It's a fun and different way to eat eggs and toast and my son loved the toast medalions I made with the centers.

Meh, its ok. I find that it is easier and cleaner to just do the traditional method of fried eggs and toast... This was more time consuming than I was hoping for...

My grandmother used to make this for us when we'd stay at her house! It was always a real treat. We called it "egg in a hole" but I've also heard it called "egg in a basket". Very nostalgic

My family thought this was great. Even my daughter who doesn't like eggs thought it was good. I buttered both sides of the bread, then browned one side turned it over, cut the whole out and put the egg in. I tryed what one reviewer said and added a couple of tbsp. of water in the hot pan and covered, and it cooked the eggs perfect that way without flipping. Next time I will put these on a wire rack for a minute or so because when I put them straight on the plates the bottom got too soggy. We will definitely be eating this again and again. Thanks!!

This was pretty good...but different too. I could see how another poster said it tasted like french toast...mind did on the bread where the whites were. I did also try it with some cheese on top, not sure if that was better or not. Thanks for the recipe!

this is my mom's favorite eggs and toast dish - if you wanted something special - you got up got her newspaper - made her coffee and then made toad-in-a-hole for her - not always a sure bet but it did put luck on your side - love this

This is such a great idea! The egg cooks in a perfect little circle (which I can never do normally). So convenient.

My fiance likes his "sunshine toast" on top of another (thin) slice of bread with cheddar & muenster sandwiched in between - like a grilled cheese with a runny egg on top. I use smart balance on the bread, season the egg with oregano, salt and pepper & recommend using a lid/cover to cook the egg quickly & evenly. This is remarkably creative & not to mention, sooo delicious!

I grew up on this and I still make this for my kids. I knew it as "Gold Mine Egg". I make it for my kids with the eggs intact, but I am not crazy about the yolk, even when it is set solid, so I just make mine with egg whites. Delish! Reading through all the reviews made me laugh because there are so many different names for one dish! My kids call it either Gold Mine Egg (like I do) or Toad in the Hole or even Bird in the Nest. You have to cook up the circle cut out... my brothers and I used to fight over those pieces because they just tasted so good all crispy toasted and buttery. Thanks for the memories of a classic breakfast dish (but really good at any time of day or night!)!

I love this! I've made it several times now and it always turns out great. You can use different shaped cookie cutters instead of a circle. And it's great with a little cheese sprinkled on top!

Easy. Super Fast. Great for Company. A tasty twist on simple eggs and toast. Get your heat right or you"ll burn your toast on one side like I did. But even with the burnt toast it was still AMAZING! With the egg contained you can dip your leftover bread into it without making a mess of your plate! My husband loved it too!

Super simple and yummy! I buttered and salted both sides of the bread and cooked until golden on both sides. I then used a glass to cut a hole in each slice of toast. I sprinkled a little salt in each hole, right onto the pan, and then cracked the eggs right in. Cooked until the bottom was no longer see through, and then flipped and cooked for 30 seconds for over easy. I served the Sunshine Toast with the small cut out circles of toast. Delicious! I highly recommend this easy recipe for a twist on eggs and toast.

Very good! Certainly does not need any salt, but I add a little pepper. Tends to be very messy, but I think that's just my problem. Makes a nice breakfast.
