Egg in the basket or Egg in a window (egg in the hole & "pirates eye" in Commonwealth countries and toad in a hole, eggy toast, hobo toast, o'johnnies, or bird's nest in many parts of the United States) refers to a chicken's egg fried in a hole of a slice of bread. It is a common comfort food, and is known by many names in various countries. For example, this dish is sometimes referred to as one eyed jack when the cut out section of bread is fried and then placed back on the yolk, like a pirate's eye patch. The dish is also portrayed in the movie V for Vendetta.
