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.-

This is what we called it in my household, as well.
Toad-in-the-hole! Maybe. We only ever had them like once, scrambled eggs were far more common.

Eggs in a basket, toad in a hole, one eyed jack, eggs in a nest
Isn't toad in the hood sausages in Yorkshire pudding?
"Toad in the Hood" is the gritty HBO sequel to "The Wind in the Willows" that takes place after Toad breaks out of prison.

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]

A long-ago girlfriend made us these for breakfast, and called them glory holes. Seriously, circa 1975. She had no idea, said her family had always called them glory holes.
Bregg
Bregg's it
No this is the most insane thing my wife calls them pigs in a blanket. I told her that's not what it's called that's something else but she refuses and is trying to have our children call it that as well. I've married a psycho.
Aren't pigs in a blanket when you wrap a sausage in a pancake? Hence, you know, pigs?

We call this egg-in-the-hole, which I am just realizing is not very original, but there it is. It is also necessary to fry the bread "holes" they are a nice bonus.

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.
Mom called them egg-inna-basket.
Scoutmaster called them buckeyes.
Other scout dad called them toad-inna-hole.
Another scout called them one-eyed-jack.
I don't make them, so I don't call them anything.
I call it redneck egg
Why? Both are in bread
I’ve never understood this “dish” I’d pretty much 100% if the time prefer a fried egg on an in tact piece of toast.

I'd call that one a 'blue plate'.
I see more green than blue, like a seafoam green.
I'm curious what others see? My wife and I have this back and forth of what's a shade of blue vs green with some things around the house. Gar as I know I'm not colour blind, but I'm aware that some people have better colour perception than others so it really does make me wonder.

Egg-in-a-Hole
That’s a Robin’s nest or an eggy hole
Eierbrot
That is a plate.
Didn't see this one here yet: sunshine toast
Eggy in a basket for sure!
Egg in a frame
But the bread needs to be cooked in butter like a grilled cheese.
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.
