    We always called it a Toad in a Hole. But we’d always stack ham and cheese over it with the bread piece on the very top. My father was always excited to make them for everyone on the weekends.

      Thanks. I’m trying to do a bit more with my presentation. There’s a balance between pretty and not enough food and this teeters right on the edge of that in my opinion.

        I think berries deserve to be in an abundant glistening pile! Two sliced berries is a pretty decoration but leaves me feeling a little sad.

          the real breakfast is out of frame, 2 slices of toast with eggs injected, a bowl of berries, a glass of water, and a cup of coffee. OP stated they don’t like fat people so they purposely do stuff like this to present an incomplete image of what normal people eat. come on seriously, i’d be hungry 5 minutes after eating this “meal”

    I’ve just never really understood these at all. The egg/bread ratio in each bite is just off. I’d rather just put the egg on top of the toast and enjoy egg + toast in every bite. What am I missing?

        Yeah considering the effort I’ll end up just making a poached egg on toast the next time around. I can punch circles out of toast and be fancy without sacrificing flavor.

    We like to call this Bregg in my house but our doesn’t look this fancy. It looks great, although the cut berries seems a little extra.

      Looks like the yolk broke while cooking. Some people don’t like runny yolks, so it might have been intentional.

      It broke when I flipped things but it was still jammy inside! Next time I think I’ll toast one side of the bread, flip it, then break my egg in and cook things covered so I’m not having to flip things.

    This is a BEATIFUL dish. I do think more berries would work, but it’s a hard to argue with the very nicely balanced and striking presentation.

    It screams for a strong berry mimosa accoutrement! 😁
