Tonight, while playing some Mario Kart with my SO and roommate, we got hungry. For some reason, I though of my breakfast that morning--an Egg Mit sandwich from Noah's Bagels. So I asked my boyfriend to make me a bagel toad-in-a-hole. He said we were out of bagels. But then I remembered we had waffles...

The method I used was to par-toast the frozen waffle, cut out the center of the waffle with a shot glass, and then place it on the hot griddle pan. You want the pan to be hot enough that the egg will fry. Crack egg in to the hole. Put a lid on the pan/griddle if possible--it will help the egg to set faster. Once the egg is set to flip--flip!

Voila--egg in a waffle, or waffle, toad-in-a-hole.

I'm also considering egg in a pancake.

So my question is, what have you come up with out of necessity, invention, or the munchies?

I love toad in the hole. My son makes if for me. He uses thick slices of cheese bread. He also butters and toasts the disc from the bread and then puts it over the finished egg like a hat.

The boy makes a mean toad in the hole.


So the question is, did you put syrup on those waffles?


As for necessity, I don't have anything that springs to mind other than using a sauce pan to make coffee once at the cottage. The coffee makers was toast and I needed my caffeine. It's the way you make Turkish coffee only the coffee I had wasn't anywhere near as good or as finely ground.

It wasn't bad, but I'd rather not make it that way if I didn't have to.

This is odd.

To a Brit, Toad in the Hole is sausages cooked in yorkshire pudding.

What you're describing is "a waffle with an egg in it".

Actually, I didn't. I ate it with ketchup. We were also out of syrup. But it tasted very good with ketchup, and the egg was perfectly over-medium, which is how I like it.

I've never heard of this being called toad in a hole; we always called it egg in a pocket growing up. Interesting.

As for necessity munchies...the closest thing I've ever had was gravy over rice. I had leftover gravy, leftover rice but no potatoes...so the rice made do. It was actually pretty yummy.

grab a meat patty and a fried egg with that and you've got Loco-Moco.

I make lots of "inventions" like BBQ Ribs fried rice to PBJnBacon... of course my favorite breakfast in the whole world is Filipino Tapsilog... been eating that since I was a tyke, and one day someone gave it a name which stuck.

Snowy, toads are my favorite, add a few strips of bacon yum. I had never had one until after about twenty years of marriage my wife makes me one and tells me her mother made them so much she won't eat them. I say just make them for me!

I gotta' try a waffle toad now. One of my favorite breakfasts is a med. fried egg with melted cheese, bacon, thin slice of onion on a toasted & buttered English muffin. Yum!

I've always called that "Eggs in the Basket" ... no matter what kind of bread it's in.

The waffle idea is excellent though!
