This was always a hit with my girls. My Mom made it for me when I was little too, we called it "Toad in a hole". The French Canadians called it "Coco cache". When the girls were old enough to use the stove it was an easy meal for them to make for themselves.

    My Grandma made these for me but she named them "one eyed sailors". Thanks for the memory.

    This turned out really good! I've tried making something like it before. The step of covering the skillet for a few minutes made a difference. One tip: do avoid overcooking use the smaller burner on your stovetop. Also,I used a butter spray instead and saved quite a bit on calories. Next time, I think I'll try using a cookie cutter shape especially with Easter coming around the corner I think a bunny will create a little more intrigue and excitement from my children.

    This is great as french toast also. We've always called them frog-eye toast.
