Since Flatbush Farm’s brunch menu is so simple, I had to go with the kitschiest name on the list, and it certainly paid off. The toad in a hole, also known as one-eyed jack, is an egg that has been fried in a hole cut in a slice of bread — in Farm’s case, a thick, buttery slice of homemade brioche. Way to kick it up! It’s topped with melted Cheddar then sprinkled with chives. This brunch dish hit my stomach like a brick, that is, a warm, delicious, savory little brick that sent me straight back to bed.
