In North America Toad in a Hole is an egg cooked in the middle of a piece of toast with the center cut out. However, Toad in a Hole is not to be confused with Toad in the Hole, which originated in the UK and is something entirely different. Also known as Sausage Toad, Toad in the hole is a traditional English dish consisting of sausages in Yorkshire pudding batter, usually served with onion gravy and vegetables. Trust me, you really don't want to get these two dishes confused! You can read more about Toad in the Hole HERE.
🥘 Ingredients
For this egg in a hole recipe with cheese, you'll need:
- bagel * use any type of bagel, but everything bagel works really well
- egg
- sharp cheddar cheese * I use low-fat
- pineapple * you can use fresh or canned
- raspberries
- butter
- green onion
In North America, we also refer to this dish by the name ‘Egg in a hole.' And according to an article in Eater, it's also known as 'egg in a hat,' 'egg in a basket' and 'egg in a frame'. However, although the origins of this recipe are unclear, an official recipe called "egg with a hat" first made an appearance in the Boston Cooking School Cookbook in the 1890's. It called for a cookie cutter to remove the bread's center, which, when served atop the cooked egg, became the "hat." You can read more about the origins of egg in a hole HERE.
For reasons I do not understand, in North America, we like to call the same recipe by several different names. But whatever you call this egg dish, I assure you, it's an easy and delicious breakfast!
