TOAD IN THE HOLE



Toad in the Hole image

You know that something with a name like this is going to be good and this truly is! The traditional recipe itself is very simple but the method for making it is not, so I developed this "cold oven cheater method" which is much safer and easier. The end result is an amazing flavor and texture combination of fatty sausage links, crispy, puffed, and tender Yorkshire pudding, and delicious onion gravy. And the gravy is so good you'll want to eat it on just about anything (and everything!)

Time 1h55m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 19

4 large eggs
½ teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 pinches cayenne pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
¾ cup whole milk
¼ cup cold water
¼ cup vegetable oil
4 links pork sausage
2 tablespoons butter
1 large red onion, minced
kosher salt to taste
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups chicken broth
¼ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar
2 tablespoons Onions, spring or scallions (includes tops and bulb), raw
1 teaspoon chopped fresh chives, or to taste

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.

TOAD IN THE HOLE



Toad in the Hole image

American Toad in a hole is one of the first recipes I had my children prepare when they were learning to cook. Much easier than the European version, this fun egg-in-a-hole is sure to please. My "little ones" are now grown (and have advanced to more difficult recipes!), but this continues to be a traditional standby in my home and theirs. -Ruth Lechleiter, Breckenridge, Minnesota

TOAD-IN-THE-HOLE



Toad-in-the-Hole image

Among the breakfast options at SingleThread is an English menu, with toad-in-the-hole as its centerpiece. Mr. Connaughton calls it an homage to Heston Blumenthal - the innovative English chef and owner of The Fat Duck - for whom he worked for several years. For the eggs, Mr. Connaughton uses sous-vide techniques: vacuum-sealing the eggs, processing them in a water bath and using a siphon canister. Lacking such equipment in your kitchen, you can still approximate the result by gently and softly scrambling the egg mixture. And if you prefer, even a well-trimmed poached egg can be centered on the toast and cheese.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 thick slices (about 3/4-inch) milk or Pullman bread, or brioche
6 ounces white farmhouse Cheddar, preferably English, grated
4 large eggs
2 large egg yolks
3 tablespoons half-and-half
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt to taste

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.
