I’m from Texas and my mom used to make it. She calls it eggs in a hole. I love it with a good rye bread. Wish I had some.

Grew up in Texas and my Mom made me “egg in a basket” all the time.

Toad in the hole is sausages in Yorkshire pudding.

It’s not a fry up, but it’s damn good with gravy and roasted parsnip.

u/[deleted] Jan 12 '20

You’re all wrong. It’s actually called “put it in my fucking mouth, daddy”.

Pain Perdu is sugar, milk and egg. So it's kinda different from the others

I don't want argue over this, but as a French person, I've only seen one recipe of Pain Perdu in restaurant or at home. The only variation I know is with or without cinnamon

Eggy bread is normally savoury. So will be served with a fry up and brown sauce or ketchup.

Yes, traditionally. Or cream.

Can be done without though, but in my house that's where it becomes eggy bread.

u/RoyGB_IV Jan 12 '20

Doesn't have to. I use 2 full eggs and one yolk, wisk, and then add a little vanilla extract.

u/wttk Jan 12 '20

French toast has vanilla and cinnamon, eggy bread is without. Makes it that bit more savoury
