Re: Toad in the Hole

This is the receipe that I use:

5 pork sausages ( I use veggie sausage)
2 tbsp oil
2 cups whole eggs
2 cups AP flour
2 cups milk
1 cup carrots - cut into "fingers"
1 cup swede - cut into "fingers" ( rutabaga here)
1 cup brussel sprouts, sliced
1 cup shallots, sliced
2 tbsp honey
2 tbsp butter
chopped sage & parsley
salt & pepper


Melt butter and honey in frying pan and cook carrots, swede, sprouts and shallots for 5 minutes. Place into large casserole dish.

Fry sausage in oil until brown, place into hot oven for 5 minutes. Then place over veggies.

Whisk eggs in bowl, then add flour while continuing to whisk. Once smooth, add the milk, parsley salt and pepper.

Pour mix over sausage and veggies and bake in over at 350 for 35 minutes.
