So far, we've got Toad In The [A] Hole, Bunny In The Hole, Eggs In
the Hole, Eggs in a Basket, Eggs In A Frame, Square Eggs, and a
plethora of other cutesy names for a virtually identical dish. Oh,
and then there's Eggs In A Hat, which is the same thing, with a slice
of cheese and ham added near the end of the process... in addition to
the names provided by the kind people of this list.
