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.
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.
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”
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
Toad-in-the-hole! Maybe. We only ever had them like once, scrambled eggs were far more common.
I have to know where you are from. I have never heard of this as Toad in the hole, and this like the 6th comment in thread I’ve seen of it.
I only know Toad in the hole as Sausage in bread.
I know you don’t want to DOX but just region. NE US, AUS, NZ? I gotta know.
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.
We call them Egg Hole, because it’s a little bit funny and apparently we are both 12.
Egg in the hole.
But a poorly cooked one since it looks like the egg is cooked through without having toasted the bread. Ideally the egg yolk will be runny and the bread toasted on both sides. It’s also missing the interior ‘dipper’ toasted separately. Looks like good bread though.
Egg in a frame
But the bread needs to be cooked in butter like a grilled cheese.
Hippo-eggs because… well… it’s a long story…
Eggs in a basket.
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.
That is a plate.
