Edit: (What do you call this dish?)

Edit: (Slice of bread with a hole cut in the middle and an egg fried in it.) I have always called them daddy-o eggs but I have recently been informed that is incorrect.-

Egg in a basket
- This is what we called it in my household, as well.

Eggs in a basket.
- This is the answer. At least, it's the only thing I've ever heard someone not from the internet call it.
  
  I learned this term for it from the film V for Vendetta which isn't a great source but seems more reliable than the crazy people in this thread.

Toad-in-the-hole! Maybe. We only ever had them like once, scrambled eggs were far more common.
- I'm in Australia, we call this one with an egg "toad in a hole", I've never seen the one with a sausage.
- Toad in the hole. Australia
- South Georgian here, we also call it this.

Alabama eggs cuz it's in bread. I have usually called them egg in hole.
- Suppose this is now what I call them too

Eggs in a basket, toad in a hole, one eyed jack, eggs in a nest
- Isn't toad in the hood sausages in Yorkshire pudding?
  
  "Toad in the Hood" is the gritty HBO sequel to "The Wind in the Willows" that takes place after Toad breaks out of prison.
  
  yes.

Toad in a hole is what I've always heard it called
- Toad in the hole is sausages in a big yorkshire pudding.
  The name must have been appropriated to refer to this eggy bread meal.
  To be fair, I've never heard a name for it before.

Not sure it has a "correct" name. I grew up having it called "egg in a hole," but depending on where you're from there are different names. I know people who call it "egg in a nest." Wikipedia says:
There are many names for the dish, including "bullseye eggs", "eggs in a frame", "egg in a hole", "eggs in a nest", "gashouse eggs", "gashouse special", "gasthaus eggs", "hole in one", "one-eyed Jack", "one-eyed Pete", "one-eyed Sam", "pirate's eye", and "popeye".[7][8][9][10] The name "toad in the hole" is sometimes used for this dish,[7] though that name more commonly refers to sausages cooked in Yorkshire pudding batter.
- I can also attest to hearing “eggs in a basket” and “toad in a hole” growing up. My son has just dubbed the dish “egg bread” and requested it almost daily. He also calls fried eggs “dip eggs” and boiled eggs “shape eggs.” He was probably 3 when he solidified these terms, but they have all stuck, 6 years later.
  
  Toad in a hole in the UK is a vastly different dish of sausages baked into a Yorkshire pudding
- "Gashouse eggs" is the one I've heard most. Nice Great Depression-era ring to it.

A long-ago girlfriend made us these for breakfast, and called them glory holes. Seriously, circa 1975. She had no idea, said her family had always called them glory holes.

Did you meant to ask "What do YOU" call this dish?
Because the "correct" name probably changes every 100 miles [161km]
- Yes and thank you.
  
  Ah, then I'd call it "eggs in a hole"

Bregg
- Bregg's it

No this is the most insane thing my wife calls them pigs in a blanket. I told her that's not what it's called that's something else but she refuses and is trying to have our children call it that as well. I've married a psycho.
- Aren't pigs in a blanket when you wrap a sausage in a pancake? Hence, you know, pigs?
  
  Our use of that term is a hot dog wrapped in biscuit, similar idea.
  
  Bacon, isn't it?
- It's not too late. If you crack enough eggs on her head, you might be able to scramble her brains and hard reset her.

We call this egg-in-the-hole, which I am just realizing is not very original, but there it is. It is also necessary to fry the bread "holes" they are a nice bonus.
- This. Egg-in-a-hole is the name for it in my country.

Toad in the hole.
- That's sausage in Yorkshire pudding
  
  Brits call sausage in toast toad in the hole. On this side of the Atlantic it's egg .

I'd call that one a 'blue plate'.
- I see more green than blue, like a seafoam green.
  I'm curious what others see? My wife and I have this back and forth of what's a shade of blue vs green with some things around the house. Gar as I know I'm not colour blind, but I'm aware that some people have better colour perception than others so it really does make me wonder.
  
  100% seafoam green

Mom called them egg-inna-basket.
Scoutmaster called them buckeyes.
Other scout dad called them toad-inna-hole.
Another scout called them one-eyed-jack.
I don't make them, so I don't call them anything.

I call it redneck egg
Why? Both are in bread

I’ve never understood this “dish” I’d pretty much 100% if the time prefer a fried egg on an in tact piece of toast.
- To me it's just something fun to do when I'm bored with scrambled and over easy. Also if you use a good amount of butter in the pan, you can fry the little chunk of bread that was removed and that tastes great.

Egg-in-a-Hole

I've known it as egg-in-the-nest, spoken as one word.
Unless you live with the one who corrected you, just keep calling it what you know it to be.

Egg in a hole.
- We call them Egg Hole, because it's a little bit funny and apparently we are both 12.

That is a plate.

"Egg in toast".
We were a creative family.
- I grew up calling them egg on toast lol. We weren't only unimaginative, we couldn't even describe the food right
- "Egg in bread" for us.

That’s a Robin’s nest or an eggy hole

Didn't see this one here yet: sunshine toast

Egg in a frame
But the bread needs to be cooked in butter like a grilled cheese.

Eierbrot

"Chicken on a raft."

V Toast (from the movie V for Vendeta)

Eggy in a basket for sure!

Sometimes called a Bird's Nest or a variation of that.
With stuff like this, there often are no 'correct' names. If you call it daddy-o eggs, that's what it's called in your house/family.
