So that is the name our family came up with for this breakfast creation, which you may have had a variation of at some time in your life.
To make Chickie-Pig-Eyes you need:1 loaf Texas Toast bread
1 egg/person (and a little milk if you prefer your eggs scrambled)
butter or margarine
ham slices
cheese slices
salt and pepper
a biscuit or circle cutter
a griddle
Butter one slice of toast per person on both sides.
Cut out a hole from the middle of the toast with the circle cutter and save the centers.
Cut out 2 ham circles and one cheese circle per person.
Heat griddle to about 350-375 degrees and get ready to assemble FAST when griddle is hot.
Lay the bread on the griddle and start filling the holes in this order:
1 ham circle
1 egg (just crack it in there or pour in some eggs scrambled with a little bit of milk-enough to almost fill the hole)
salt and pepper the egg
1 cheese circle
1 ham circle
Let it toast on that side for a couple of minutes and then carefully flip over and toast on the other side. Toast your bread circles at the same time.
Wall-Ah! Chickie-Pig-Eyes!
Can serve with hot maple syrup. Works well to cut pizza style with a pizza cutter for little fingers to dip in syrup.
Let me know what you would call these and other variations you have heard of!

I bet they "LOVED" them!Great idea.
Very cute Sheia. You have converted me to Texas Toast. I don't think I'll ever do French Toast with regular bread again!
We do this without the meat and call it egg in the whole.
