Looking for a fun way to eat eggs and toast? This egg in a Frame recipe made with Dave’s Killer Bread White Bread Done Right will only take you 10 minutes AND is the coolest breakfast around!
I am verrrrry excited to introduce a new FFF partnership with Dave’s Killer Bread! I am a BIG fan of amped up bread made with real ingredients and that’s exactly what Dave’s is.
Today’s recipe features their White Bread Done Right, which has the most whole grains out of any white bread on the market! WHATTTTT. It’s a blend of whole grain flours and doesn’t include any bleached flour OR high fructose corn syrup. Yes please. Really though, that is HUGE! Parents- you could totally get away with telling your picky kids that this is “real white bread,” when it’s really white bread done right 😛

I think this may be the most controversial blog post I will ever write. A few weeks ago I asked my Instagram what they call “egg in a frame” and I couldn’t believe the diversity in answers AND how passionate people are about this recipe.
- Egg in a frame (what I call it!)
- Egg in a basket
- Hen in a nest
- Egg in a nest
- Egg in a hat
- Eggs in a blanket
- Frog in a hole
- Twin sun toast
- Surprise egg
- Popeye
- Eggie in the middle
- Bullseye
- Buca mi buca di
- Ships egg
- Caprese
- Campfire egg
- Miami egg
I have never seen a single dish that has so many name for it! NUTS. My favorite answer was Buca mi buca di. Apparently it’s Italian and there is no direct translation in English. I also really liked Eggie in the Middle and think I might just start calling it that 😛 Really though- this recipe is so much fun and a great way to get the whole family involved with breakfast. Want to know something else? It’s an AMAZING meal prep breakfast recipe because you can make these in bulk and freeze them in sandwich bags and then reheat them in the oven!
When Team Fit Foodie made this recipe, we served it with bacon and garlicky kale. NOM NOM NOM. Of course a side of orange juice was included as well as copious amounts of coffee.
Want to know something else I did? You know the little round piece of bread you cut out to make the frame? I put peanut butter on mine 🙂 Then I put a slice of banana and 2 blueberries on top of that to make a smiley face. I DON’T EVER WANNA GROW UP.

This post is sponsored by Dave’s Killer Bread, my favorite bread company! I was compensated an all opinions are my own. Thanks for supporting Fit Foodie Finds.
Thanks for the instructions. I had one more name for you to add to your list. My ex-husbands family grew up calling it Dipping Eggs
Lol my friend and I were having anargument over what this dish’s actual name is so I stumbled across this recipe looking for that answer. XD I’ve always called it an ‘egg in a frame’ while she has always called it ‘egg in a nest’ turns out both of us were right xD. My recent creation with it is an ‘egg in a frame grilled cheese’ its amazing. Plus it looks cool with the piece of bread that has the egg on it on top.
After I posted this recipe I learned that just about everyone has a different name for this recipe!
My Dad called these “Gas-house Eggs”

I just stumbled upon this recipe and can’t believe ALL the many names it has. When I was growing up, this quick & easy breakfast dish was called “Hole In One” in our house. The best part is to toast the circle piece of bread really well so you can use it to soak up the deliciousness of the runny yolk. Thanks for sharing! 🙂
Yum! My fam and my husband’s fam always called them “Toad in a hole,” yes, very controversial 😉 he he!
I just saw an awesome recipe for a “Toad in a hole” BLT avocado sandwich that looked so so good.
OMG Genius. So many sammiches you could make with TOAD IN A HOLE.
I know, right?!!
Too funny! I’m 35 now but I grew up with these and we called them “egg in a hole”. Butter the toast before you put it in the pan and salt that egg a little and Its heaven!!
I love eggs in toast. So reminds me of the scene in “Moonstruck” when Cher’s Mom is making breakfast.
★★★★★
I’ve never seen Moonstruck! What is it about?
NOM. So purty. I seriously need to try Dave’s Killer Bread!
YAS. You will love it 🙂
I’ve heard it called many things as well usually it was the egg in a nest, frog in a hole or egg in the middle. Egg in a frame is a new one for me haha. I’m glad to see you saved the middle and didn’t waste it
I seriously have never seen a food with so many dang names!
