Easy Toad In The Hole Recipe
76Toad In The Hole
This toad in the hole recipe is real comfort food, it's so easy to make and costs very little for a huge serving. It also great for vegetarians, as you can swap any meat sausage for a vegetarian option.
If you buy high quality sausages you will need to add the oil to the dish in order for the toad in the hole batter to rise around the sausages. Farm shop sausages are exceptionally high in quality and don't contain fatty cuts of meat.
Supermarket quality sausages are usually quite fatty, so they will deposit their own fat to make the batter rise. No oil is required here.
If you are a vegetarian or maybe sometimes like me just fancy a change, then you can use veggie sausages. The ones in the photos are Quorn. If using a meat substitute, you will need to add oil as these sausages are very low in fat and the toad in the hole batter will not rise without it.
If you're feeling adventurous, add a little mustard or herbs to the batter mix, or maybe a dash of Worcester Sauce! If you're feeling really reckless, add a little grated cheese of choice.
Toad In The Hole Ingredients:
Serves 2
1 large Egg
3 heaped tablespoons of Plain Flour
5 tablespoons of Milk
Pinch of Salt
4 or more Sausages of choice
1 teaspoon of oil (I use olive)

How To Make Toad In The Hole
- Preheat oven to 230 C / 450 F / Gas 8
- Put sausages (and oil if the sausages aren't fatty) into a baking dish (I use a pyrex dish lid) and put into the preheated oven
- They will need to cook for 8-10 minutes
Meanwhile...
- Break the egg into a jug
- Add a pinch of Salt and whisk
- Add the Flour and the Milk
- Whisk together
You want a smooth consistency that will pour easily, but isn't runny
If the consistency isn't right, add more Flour to thicken, or Milk to thin
- Put mixture into the fridge until needed
- Once the 8-10 minutes are up, carefully take the dish from the oven and add the batter mix
- Cook for 20 minutes
You now have a fully risen Toad In The Hole

I have not made toad in the hole in years, thanks for the reminder.
Not only have I never made toad in the hole, I've never even heard of it. But my mouth is watering now. I'm going to try it.
I have never heard of that and I thought my grandmother made some different things but this so good. I am going to try this. Thanks
Thanks for the comments. I'm glad that I could introduce something new.
That looks so good. I want to try it tomorrow! Thanks! :)
Never heard of it, but boy, it sure sounds easy and tasty! Thank you for introducing me to something new! Steph
Hi,
I echo all here, I've never heard of it either :)
It seems very simple to make and I definitely like the idea of the onion gravy.
I really need to get organized and start printing these wonderful recipes. I can develop a new hobby over the winter.
Thanks for sharing,
Trish
thanks im havin it for my dins yumi x
Hi Moonbun, I don't know if you're English or American or whatever, but I've always wanted to make toad in the hole, and this was a delightfully easy recipie, and the result was fabulous! I used traditional English 'bangers', and they worked out just fine. I'm going to make it again as soon as I find some onion gravy. I've a very fine deli where I live (Seattle), and they stock a lot of English foods. Thanks again!
very easy to follow,can't wait to try it
Fianlly a toady recepie I can easily follow! Thanks
This is a really good, simple toad in the hole recipe. I often make it for a vegetarian friend and, when I use vegetarian sausages, I call it "Frog in the Hole". Unusually for a vegetarian she prefers to buy processed food and this is just the sort of recipe I think I could get her to make for herself. Thank you.
Thanks for the kind comments.
I'm glad that my toad in the hole recipe is being used and enjoyed!
Googled for Toad in the Hole, first result...
Never made it, wanted to be sure on recipe, and i'm using Quorn (too much carp in real ones)...
Got what i wanted, and perfectly explained... thanx.!!!
gona try making right now, cheers for recipe!! yum yum
sounds very easy but wil try today and see how it goes!x
I love toad in the hole but mine never seemed to turn out right so gave this one a go and it was perfect YUMMY...even hubby was really impressed, thanks for sharing with us xx
Glad that it worked out Tammy, I tried to keep the recipe as simple as possible. Hope you and your hubby enjoy it for lots of meals to come!
Thanks for taking the time to comment :)
I am making this now and it is unbelievable! I usually use a mix because I have never been able to make homemade and have it turn out perfectly. Tonight I discovered I was out of the mix and for once, did not go to the tried and true recipes that failed, thinking I did something wrong the first three or four times I tried them unsuccessfully. I googled this. It is still in the oven but it is huge, nicely risen. Thank you so much!
Yes, this recipe is perfect! This rose much higher than the mixes, BTW, I had asked an English friend how her Toad rose so much and she was the one that suggested mixes. I've sent this to her. I am so happy, the mixes cost over a dollar and I make Yorkshire and Toad a lot.
BTW, when I make Toad, I use a Pyrex dish and boil the sausages on the stovetop for a few minutes, pricking them well to let the fat out. I then drain them and add about a tablespoon of oil before I heat the pan in the oven.
Hi Diane,
Thanks for taking the time to comment. I'm glad that you like the recipe, and by the sounds of it you'll be saving money on mixes. Excellent!
Hope you enjoy it many more times to come :)
