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.-

    Toad-in-the-hole! Maybe. We only ever had them like once, scrambled eggs were far more common.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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’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'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.

    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.
