Toad in the Hole
Pork sausages does the heavy lifting here, with all-purpose flour rounding it out. A British dinner that takes 55 minutes, start to finish. The macros do the talking: 42g protein, 37g carbs, and 44g fat in every 711-calorie serving. Simple enough for a Tuesday, good enough to serve to guests — that is the whole idea.

Ingredients
- 8 Pork sausages
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 3 Eggs
- 1 cup Milk
- 3 tbsp Beef dripping
- 2 cups Onion gravy
Steps
- Brown the sausages in an oven-safe skillet until golden on all sides — they’ll finish cooking in the batter.
- Whisk the flour, eggs, milk, and salt into a smooth batter and rest it 20 minutes. This is the same batter as Yorkshire pudding; the toad is just sausages wearing it.
- Heat the oven to 425°F. Add the dripping to the skillet with the sausages and heat until smoking. Pour the batter around the sausages — it should sizzle on contact.
- Bake 25 to 30 minutes without opening the door. The batter puffs up around the sausages like a golden, crisp-edged cloud.
- Serve immediately with onion gravy poured over. It deflates as it cools, so the table should already be set when it comes out.
