September and slightly cooler weather is bringing in the love of oven bakes. The favourite in our house is Toad in the Hole and it’s so easy to make.
Autumn is here and that means the oven is going on and the toad in the hole is being cooked. I love this dinner and it’s a favourite in my house. It tastes so good, it’s warming and it’s super simple. I make the batter a few hours before I need it. I pop the sausages in the oven when I’m ready and when they are golden brown I pour the batter over the top and cook it for 15 minutes more until the batter is golden brown too. It’s great to make when you’re busy around the house but still want a hot cooked meal.
Using the little Le Creuset casseroles was mega cute and cut down on cooking time a bit. They looked so cute on the table. I served the toad in the hole with vegetables and a little gravy for those who like a little extra drizzle to serve.
Easy Toad in the Hole Recipe
What better to cook in than Le Creuset stoneware dishes. This recipe fills 2 mini casserole dishes and 1 small rectangular dish or the large rectangular dish. For the little casseroles I used mini sausages which worked a treat. The thick stoneware keeps the heat in and really encourages the batter to rise up and give you the great shapes that emerge.
Ready to enjoy! I love removing it from the dish and seeing how well the batter has risen. I always a little fresh thyme when it’s served and I think it adds a lovely taste. Sometimes I add it to the batter or the gravy too if I want to add a more earth taste.
A dissection of the toad in the hole. It might be odd to know but toad in the hole cold works really really well. We’ve had in lunch boxes and if you have a microwave at work a little blast is good too.

Aww thank you!
Yes please any night of the week. Toad in the hole is my favourite. Never tried it cold though, never any left to take in a lunch box.
I can see why it wouldn’t last. There is rarely leftovers in our house too.
Everyone likes a good Toad in the Hole. Add a little gravy.
