Birdie in the Nest


Growing up I always was told by my mom that this was one of our family recipes so I assumed it was special. I've always loved Birdie in the nests but then later on found out that lot's of other people eat them too. I've heard lots of names for them too including:
Egg Island
Eggie Weggy (England)
Toad in the Hole
Egg in the basket

And just now I check in Wikipedia and they've got also:
It is also known by a large number of alternative names, examples being "Rocky Mountain toast",[4] "moon egg",[5] "egg-in-the-hole"[6], "One-eyed Jack",[7] "Bird's nest"[8] and "frog in a hole"

So somewhat disappointing, but it still is bomb and I highly recommend this to my readers
