Surprise Toad In The Hole Recipes

TOAD IN THE HOLE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
• Pour the vegetable oil into the bottom of an 8x12 or 9x9 baking dish. You can use a metal or ceramic casserole dish. Place the sausages in the dish in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven.
• While waiting, whisk flour, eggs, and 1/2 cup of milk in a medium bowl. Gradually mix in the rest of the milk until the mixture forms a smooth batter. Season with salt and pepper.
• Take the sausages out of the oven and pour the batter over them, covering them 3/4 of the way. Place the dish back into the oven and bake for another 35 minutes or until the center has risen and turned golden brown. If the underside seems a little soft - that's okay, that's how it's supposed to be.

Steps:

• Prepare batter: Combine eggs, salt, pepper, cayenne, 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour, and milk in a large bowl; whisk thoroughly until batter is very smooth and no lumps remain. Whisk in water. Cover and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Prepare sausages: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausages and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and transfer to a buttered 9x12- or 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour oil from the skillet over the sausages; brush oil with a pastry brush all over the bottom and up the sides of the dish.
• Start onion gravy: Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and salt; saute until soft and starting to brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
• While onion is cooking, pour batter in and around the sausages. Place in the center of a cold oven and turn temperature to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Set oven timer for 30 minutes.
• While toad in the hole cooks, finish onion gravy: Stir in flour and cook for about 2 minutes. Whisk in chicken broth and return to a simmer. Add Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar and simmer until gravy thickens up and reduces, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• When timer goes off, remove toad in the hole from the oven; it should be browned and puffed. Spoon gravy over the sausages and garnish with green onions and chives.
• Serve with extra gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet to a high heat.
• With a small biscuit cutter remove centers from bread. Butter slices on one side only. Grill bread until lightly toasted. Crack an egg into each bread hole (be careful not to break the yolk). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Lay 1 slice of cheese on each egg and then the bread rounds. Cook until eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.

Steps:

• In a nonstick or a well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat, toast bread until crisp and well-browned. Remove from pan. Use a circular cutter, 3 inches in diameter, to punch out a hole in the center of each slice. Place the bread on individual plates.
• Sprinkle cheese over the bread to fill the center hole and cover the rest of the slice. You can let some of the cheese fall onto the plate.
• Whisk together eggs, egg yolks and half-and-half until well-blended.
• Place the skillet over medium-low heat. Add butter and when it has melted, add egg mixture. Stir gently with a wooden spoon until softly scrambled and custardy. Add salt to taste. Transfer eggs to the center of each piece of toast, filling the hole, and serve.

Steps:

• Sift the flour and salt into a bowl. Form a well in the middle with the back of a wooden spoon and put eggs in it with a little of the milk. Amalgamate flour and liquid slowly by stirring from the center. Add the rest of the milk. (This batter can also be mixed in a food processor or blender.)
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
• Put a large oblong baking pan in the oven with the fat. Be sure to use a clear, flavored fat, not the stale contents of a muddied dripping bowl.
• Stiffen the sausages, well pricked, in a pan of simmering water for 5 minutes. Drain. Watch the pan of fat in the oven to make sure it does not burn; take it out as soon as it begins to smoke.
• Run a layer of batter over the base of the pan. It should set slightly and make a bed for the stiffened sausages. Pour in the rest of the mixture and return to the hot oven for 30 minutes or so. The pudding should be puffed up and succulent, 90 percent crisp outside, and no unpleasant semiliquid dough.

Beat lightly,then gradually pour in half the milk and water, beating all the time to form a smooth,thick batter. Continue for 2 minutes,then stir in the remaining liquid. (The batter can be made several hours ahead of time, although contrary to popular opinion it is not improved by standing.)
• Wrap a bacon rasher around each sausage then put them, spaced apart, in a large roasting tin (preferably metal). Scatter over the onion and drizzle with oil. Bake for 15-20 minutes until the bacon and sausages are starting to colour and the onion is tinged brown at the edges.
• Remove from the oven and quickly pour the batter over the sausages. Return to the oven for a further 35-40 minutes until the batter is crisp and well risen.
