Whole Loaf Toad In The Hole Recipes

TOAD-IN-THE-HOLE

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly butter a medium well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Put the sausage in the skillet, and bake until almost cooked, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the flour, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and mustard until blended. Whisk the liquid ingredients into the dry, just until you have a slightly lumpy thin batter.
• Carefully, pour the batter over the partially cooked sausages and continue to bake until the batter puffs and is crispy, and brown, about 25 to 30 minutes more.
• Serve the Toad-in-the-Hole, hot, in the skillet with more mustard on the side.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Using a 2- to 2 1/2-inch round cutter (the size of the cutter will depend on the width of the baguette), cut out 4 to 6 circular wells down the length of the baguette. The wells should be deep enough to hold an egg; don't cut all the way through to the bottom. The number of wells will depend on the length of your baguette. If you do not have a round cutter, cut out circles with a knife. Scoop out the bread filling and brush the insides of the holes with the butter. If you have any butter leftover, brush the outside of the loaf as well.
• Place the baguette on a baking sheet. Crack an egg into a small ramekin and then slide the egg into one of the holes in the baguette. Repeat and fill the remaining holes. Season with salt and pepper.
• Bake until the eggs are set and cooked to the desired doneness, about 15 minutes. Garnish with the parsley if using and serve immediately.

TOAD-IN-THE-HOLE

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.

TOAD IN THE HOLE

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.
