We have joined the Secret Recipe Club and this month I’ve had the pleasure of checking out all the yumminess over at It’s Yummy to My Tummy. I found the inspiration for this recipe there and as we do here added a little flair to her Toad in a Hole recipe and came up with this French Toast Egg-in-a-hole.
I’ve been wanting to make an egg-in-a-hole for breakfast for a long time but just wasn’t enthused enough with the whole concept until Liz suggested that instead of plain toast we try a French Toast version and then she added a little flair and suggested using a little International Delight Vanilla Caramel Creme Coffee Creamer in place of the milk we normally use…ummm, did I mention she is a genius in the kitchen.
After a few trial runs to figure out the best process and combinations I declare this French Toast Egg-in-a-hole is awesome. Once I got the process down it was a snap to make, any cookie cutter shape works well, a simple circle or an animal shape for the kids or you could surprise your Valentine and start the day with a sweet breakfast with a heart shape. All that’s needed is a little imagination.
A quick and delicious breakfast treat. Recipe from PocketChangeGourmet.com
Ingredients
- 1 large egg

It’s fun how the simplest meals can be the most flavorful. We love toad-in-the-hole. We fight over the circles, so we can put homemade jam on them. Welcome to the SRC Club!
What a clever idea. Love it.. visiting from SRC
So pretty, and yummy sounding, too. Great SRC choice. Will have to try this recipe out!

*facepalm* Cookie cutter. Duh!
THAT’S what I should be using instead of meticulously trying to cut each slice of bread with a knife.
My next round of eggs in a frame will be far, far quicker!
Thanks for sharing.

smile, this makes me think of my first house in college. we had a gas stove and my roommate had never used a gas stove, couldn’t figure out how to turn the burners on except for on full blast. her first cooking attempt was toad in a hole, needless to say it burned terribly. memories:)

What a cute idea using a heart cookie cutter to make this. Great pick for SRC – like the French toast idea for this kid friendly breakfast idea.

OMG that looks good. French toast is my favorite!9
I need to make this immediately.
I love cooking & using flavored coffee creamers for more then just your coffee! And here I thought It was my best kept secret..lol
– Great recipe!
We call this “toad in a hole” but not sure why. My MIL calls it “s–t on a shingle”–lol! But this French toast version is the bomb–can’t believe I never thought of it. Love that it uses creamer instead of milk, too-brilliant!
Under ingredients the recipe should call for 2 eggs, not one.When I open the refrigerator to prepare the dish, I want to take out as many eggs as I need beforehand.
(I only make one at a time, its very filling)
The ingredient list is broken down, 1 list for the french toast batter and 1 list for the eggs in a hole – that way in case you don’t want to put the egg inside you can just make the french toast
