Toad in the Hole

This sausage and bread dish is a slight variation of a recipe I found in a "one pot cooking" cookbook.

• Ready In: 50 mins
• Serves: 4
• Yields: 1 loaf

Ingredients

• 1  lb sausage
• 1  cup all-purpose flour
• 1  egg
• 1 1⁄4 cups milk
• 1  tablespoon  oil (vegetable, canola...)
• 1  pinch salt
• 1  teaspoon herbs

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
2. Mix flour, egg (beaten), salt, milk and herbs to make batter.
3. I usually use basil and bay but it is up to you.
4. If the sausage is peppery or has a strong sage flavor you may want to use less herbs in the batter.
5. Cook sausage until done either in skillet or in a flameproof casserole dish on stove.
6. Place sausage in casserole dish (if not already there) and add batter.
7. Bake for about 30 minutes or until bread rises.
