TOAD IN THE HOLE
American Toad in a hole is one of the first recipes I had my children prepare when they were learning to cook. Much easier than the European version, this fun egg-in-a-hole is sure to please. My "little ones" are now grown (and have advanced to more difficult recipes!), but this continues to be a traditional standby in my home and theirs. -Ruth Lechleiter, Breckenridge, Minnesota

TOAD IN A HOLE KID- FRIENDLY WAY!
found this recipe in a magazine while waiting at the doctors office one day. not sure how old the magazine was, but this looked neat and i decided to try it on my kids. They LOVED it! now they cant get filled up on their toast before even touching their eggs. *I usually add a side of 2 half pieces of bacon to add some meat to the dish, other than that, its great on its own.
