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.
Toad-in-the-hole! Maybe. We only ever had them like once, scrambled eggs were far more common.

“Toad-in-the-hole” sounds British to me.
Edit: @[email protected] said “toad-in-the-hole” refers to something else, some other breakfast food.

Sausage in Yorkshire pudding! Unless that’s called bread in the US in which case we are several layers deep into this word inception.
It’s bloody delicious too.

(Just say batter, the word “pudding” will make their heads explode.)

AFAIA, The pudding part is because pudding referred to meat dishes long before it was used for sweet dishes, and yorkshire pudding used to be exclusively served with meat - which is likely tightly linked to the original meaning of toad in the hole!
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
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
Fanny means something different there too. Ain’t dialect a thing?
“Gashouse eggs” is the one I’ve heard most. Nice Great Depression-era ring to it.
Eggs in a basket, toad in a hole, one eyed jack, eggs in a nest
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”
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
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 .
Egg in a hole.
We call them Egg Hole, because it’s a little bit funny and apparently we are both 12.
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.
Egg in a frame
But the bread needs to be cooked in butter like a grilled cheese.
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.

“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.
