Toad in the Hole with Onion Gravy

Ingredients

• 8 links pork sausages
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup milk
• 2 medium onions
• 2 cups beef stock
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

2. 2

   In a large bowl, whisk together the flour and salt.

3. 3

   In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and then add the milk. Mix well.

4. 4

   Gradually pour the egg mixture into the flour, whisking continuously until you have a smooth batter. Set aside.

5. 5

   In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

6. 6

   Once the sausages are browned, pour the batter over the sausages in the skillet.

7. 7

   Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the batter is puffed and golden brown.

8. 8

   While the Toad in the Hole is baking, prepare the onion gravy. Thinly slice the onions.

9. 9

   In a saucepan, heat a tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook until they are soft and caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.

10. 10

    Add the beef stock, thyme, salt, and black pepper to the onions. Bring to a simmer and cook for an additional 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

11. 11

    Once the Toad in the Hole is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before slicing.

12. 12

    Serve slices of Toad in the Hole topped with the onion gravy.
