My son the culinary genius: part 2

S and [livejournal.com profile] kcatalyst wanted me to them "egg in the holes". Unfortunately, we were out of eggs. So S suggested that we make "cheese in the hole" instead.. So I took some bread, cut a hole in the middle with a shot glass and threw it in a skillet with some melted butter over medium-high heat. I threw in some grated mozzarella and when it stared to bubble I flipped it over and let cook for another 30 seconds and then threw them to the hungry masses. There was much rejoicing....

My mom used to call them "Eggs in a Hat"
I've also heard them called "Toad in a Hole" and "The Gas house Special"

It is funny how names go.

Names are so funny. I love "Eggs in a Hat", I've never heard that one before. Growing up, we called them "Rocky Mountain Eggs".

Different than "Rocky Mountain Oysters", huh?

Answers.com has a nice description. I never knew that Toad in the Hole has a completely different variant which is essentially batter-covered sausages?

Sausages in Yorkshire Pudding batter is not a variant! Anything else is a weird mutant american bastardization...

So what is the right way?

In my house, we called them "one-eyed Egyptians"

That explains a lot about you!

Yes :)

Culinary genius indeed! :D

Although really, this shouldn't be at all surprising to me.
