I like comfort food. It doesn’t matter if they are not healthy. Comfort food makes me feel happy and good. And I like feeling happy and good-such emotions makes me feel healthy. Quite a twisted logic, eh?
Anyway, here’s one of my favourite comfort food. One of a must have in the morning during breakfast, or when I’m pretty hungry and in desperate need of a quick bite. Egg in a basket. Some people might recognize this dish as toad in a hole.
Here’s how you make egg in a basket/toad in a hole:
Make a hole by cutting a circular hole in the center of a piece of bread with a cookie cutter or an upside down glass.
Spread both side of the bread with margarine/butter generously.
Fry both side of the bread slightly on the frying pan.
Crack in an egg into the hole when the bread is slightly crunchier, and cook for a while until the bottom part of the egg hardens before flipping the bread over and cook the bread and the egg to a desired consistency.
And this is what you’ll get. One toad in the hole 😀 Take out, and serve with either jam, ketchup or even cheese.
Cleffairy: I’ll have this kind of toad anytime of the day.
Like that only kah? Hmmm…Elin’s toad in a hole certainly looks nicer. Hehehehehe!!!
Hahaha… liddat oni la. Haiyoorrr… Elin is professional. Me leh… cook so that I wun go hungry only. LOL… looks not nice oso I will baham. That’s why a lot of people likes to feed me. LMAO…..

I usually pop them into my mouth and down into my tummy…nothing goes to waste. LMAO!
OH!! so this is how you do it! you know, i saw this 1st at Movie called “V for Vendetta” and i had try to do it before but fail. LOL
Ah, yes… I remember that movie… the V also cooked this for the girl for breakfast.

Very easy to make oni, actually… and can trick the kids to eat the egg yolk too.

Eat just liddat where got nice? Not nice… not same… not crunchy, and the egg won’t be absorbed into the bread. 🙁
This look good ! I want to try this out. Thanks for sharing. 🙂
I think your boys will like them. My lil monster likes it. 😀
very special! first, i wonder why u make a holes ??? so funny.
but this is good. have you apply for trademark? heheehe
one things is it looks a bit dark brown and oily. if less dark and less oil… it is perfect.
Eh? Cannot apply trademark la… haha…. this is a traditional English breakfast dish…dono who created this.
The hole is made to ‘hold’ the egg, and so that the egg white and egg yolk ‘sticks’ to the bread nicely.
LOL… I like my food abit burn wan… that’s why it looks like that. Plus, I used whole wheat bread… not regular bread. Originally oredi very brown.
ic. where u learn from? from clark?
LOL… nope… my mum used to make it for me for breakfast to cheat me to eat eggs! LOL!
wow…this kind of toast will fetch around S$2 in Breadtalk.
Good grief… daylight robbery!
Clef, the bread that you used is so much healthier than mine..I just had 5pcs of white bread within 5 hours!
Anyway, thanks for sharing this interesting recipe. I will try it soon.
hey, looks great and definitly a splendid idea!^^
