TOAD IN THE HOLE

British banger-style sausages are the most authentic choice for this tasty puffed egg dish. If you can’t find them, sweet Italian sausages make a nice substitute.

HANDS-ON TIME 15 minutes

TOTAL TIME 45 minutes

MAKES 6 servings

 

INGREDIENTS

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 6 pork sausages (about 565 g)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 cup milk
  • 2 tsp chopped fresh rosemary

 

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. In 9-inch (23 cm) cast-iron skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; brown sausages. Transfer to 425°F (220°C) oven; cook, turning once, until no longer pink inside, 12 to 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, in bowl, whisk together eggs, flour and salt to form thick paste. Gradually whisk in milk until smooth; stir in rosemary. Pour over sausages.
  3. Bake for 25 minutes, without opening oven door (escaping heat could cause puff to collapse). Bake until puffed,  brown and crisp, about 5 minutes more.

TIP FROM THE TEST KITCHEN

  • If you don’t have a cast-iron pan, brown the sausages in a regular skillet, and then transfer them to an 11- x 7-inch (2 L) baking dish before continuing with the recipe, as we did in our photo (opposite).
