I recently overheard someone talking about eggs in a basket - or even a blanket, which if I'm right is toast with a hole in where a fried egg goes. The bread might even be fried rather than toasted.
It reminded me of how much I loved egg bread as a kid. This was white bread dipped into a scrambled egg mix and lightly fried. Totally delicious, it's also known as french toast and no doubt has many different names. What is it called where you are?
Egg bread for me was always a savoury, something that you might even season with salt and pepper, but for my Missus, who grew up elsewhere, it was sugared and was a sweet.
What do you do with eggs and bread readers?

Ah! It must be a 60's thing, before "Healthy Breakfasts" became a fad!
ReplyDeleteI remember my Mum making French toast for us as a kid. It used to have Maple syrup as a topping and I continued the tradition when I left home and moved in with my wife.
Nowadays, it's "Healthy Breakfasts" all the way down.
-with the odd bowl of porridge topped with Palm Sugar, thrown in for variety!
An example to us all Looey! Alas, I love sausages too much!
Delete"egg in the hole" (fried)
ReplyDeleteAh, yes, I've heard that name.
DeleteWe call it French toast and either pour pancake syrup over it or sprinkle on a mix of cinnamon sugar
ReplyDeleteJust like my Missus Ed that. I go for salt and have it with a fried breakfast.
