[Sca-cooks] Regional names for common egg dish...

[Sandra Kisner]

>>However, my sister, who lives in Israel, just wrote to me and
announced that she'd just discovered that one of our childhood
breakfast staples, which we called a Hole In One, and which consists
of a slice of sandwich/toast-type bread, with a round hole cut into
it with a small glass or something, sauteed/griddled with an egg
cracked into the hole, is alive and well in Israel, under the name,
Beitzah B'Kein, which translates to "Egg in a Nest." I recall
Theodore Sturgeon, in one of his novels ("The Dreaming Jewels"???)
describing these and calling them Gas House Eggs.<<

    We called them eggs in a frame.  I *think* I also remember seeing them mentioned in one of those Girl Scout "camping" things (yeah, let's go primitive and cook eggs over a campfire), but I don't remember what they called them.
