Whether you call this dish egg in a hole, egg in a frame, toad in a hole, or anything else, this fun twist on fried eggs and toast is sure to bring a smile to your face (and belly!). Though this recipe calls for cooking in bacon grease, many reviewers chime in to note that butter or olive oil work here, too. And, though recipe creator rosburn likes a runny egg, this speedy egg recipe can easily be customized. Reviewer Cookies says, "I turn down the heat after I put the egg in and cover with a lid for a few minutes or until the white and most of the yolk is cooked. I sometimes scramble the egg before putting it in the hole (kids like it this way)."

User Merlethecat likes to add sauteed onions and peppers to the eggs and top with tomato and green onion, and also notes, "following the directions included in this recipe for warming the corn tortillas is important—just warming in the microwave or in foil in the oven does not do the trick!" To slash even more time off this speedy recipe, cook the chorizo the night before. You can reheat it quickly in the morning and set it aside to add to the scramble.

This outside-the-(egg) box recipe calls for grating Parmesan cheese into a skillet before adding whisked eggs so that the cheese forms a crispy exterior layer for an omelet. "The caramelized cheese formed a thin but protective layer and, since the eggs had never directly touched the pan, they were moist and tender," explains recipe creator Chef John. "This will also work whether you use one or three eggs, depending on the texture you're going for. Using a single egg is kind of a cool trick, since the cheese layer is almost as thick, and you can really appreciate the crispness even more." Reviewers love this recipe and suggest adding cooked meat and/or veggies into the middle before folding in half.

"This is an absolutely great twist on conventional scrambled eggs," says dennis.chu. "Vibrant filling and popping with flavor. Like many other reviewers have mentioned cutting back from 1 tbsp. of dried basil to 1 tsp. helps to not overpower the dish with the basil flavor. I also added the feta cheese in later when the egg was on the pan cooking as to not have it lost amidst the egg when it was cooking."

Also, since this utilizes leftover pancakes, all you have to do is fry an egg and warm up the ham and pancakes. Jillian says, "Simple and delicious! What a great idea for a quick and easy breakfast treat! I love the combination of sweet and salty. Whenever I make homemade pancakes, I make a ton—enough to freeze a few for a future date. This was a perfect reason to thaw a few and assemble these sandwiches."
