Steps:

• Prepare batter: Combine eggs, salt, pepper, cayenne, 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour, and milk in a large bowl; whisk thoroughly until batter is very smooth and no lumps remain. Whisk in water. Cover and let rest at room temperature for 1 hour.
• Prepare sausages: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add sausages and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the heat and transfer to a buttered 9x12- or 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour oil from the skillet over the sausages; brush oil with a pastry brush all over the bottom and up the sides of the dish.
• Start onion gravy: Melt butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add onion and salt; saute until soft and starting to brown, 5 to 6 minutes.
• While onion is cooking, pour batter in and around the sausages. Place in the center of a cold oven and turn temperature to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Set oven timer for 30 minutes.
• While toad in the hole cooks, finish onion gravy: Stir in flour and cook for about 2 minutes. Whisk in chicken broth and return to a simmer. Add Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar and simmer until gravy thickens up and reduces, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low and stir in green onions. Taste and adjust seasoning.
• When timer goes off, remove toad in the hole from the oven; it should be browned and puffed. Spoon gravy over the sausages and garnish with green onions and chives.
• Serve with extra gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180C/gas 4.
• Sieve the flour into a large mixing bowl, then crack in the eggs. Add the milk and water and mix well to combine.
• Add a pinch of salt and the malt vinegar and leave the mixture to stand for 30 minutes.
• Put a deep ovenproof baking tin on the stove, and heat 2 tablespoons of the dripping or lard. Add the sausages and fry until browned. Put into the oven to cook for a further 10 minutes.
• In a frying pan, heat the rest of the dripping or lard and fry the onions until golden. Add the mixed herbs and season with salt and pepper.
• Turn the oven up to 220C/gas 7.
• Take sausages out of the oven and sprinkle over the onions. Pour in the batter, and place the tin back into the oven. Bake for 25 minutes.
• Turn the oven down to 180C/gas 4 and cook for a final 10 minutes, until the top is golden-brown and crisp.
• Remove from the oven and serve with gravy.

Steps:

• Preheat a large skillet to a high heat.
• With a small biscuit cutter remove centers from bread. Butter slices on one side only. Grill bread until lightly toasted. Crack an egg into each bread hole (be careful not to break the yolk). Season with salt and pepper to taste. Lay 1 slice of cheese on each egg and then the bread rounds. Cook until eggs are cooked to your desired consistency.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F.
• Lightly butter a medium well-seasoned cast iron skillet. Put the sausage in the skillet, and bake until almost cooked, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the flour, sugar, and salt together in a medium bowl. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, and mustard until blended. Whisk the liquid ingredients into the dry, just until you have a slightly lumpy thin batter.
• Carefully, pour the batter over the partially cooked sausages and continue to bake until the batter puffs and is crispy, and brown, about 25 to 30 minutes more.
• Serve the Toad-in-the-Hole, hot, in the skillet with more mustard on the side.

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 425 (220 C/ Gas 7).
• Place butter and sausages in a 10" x 12" roasting pan.
• Cook for 10 minutes, or until they are done to your liking.
• Sift the flour into a bowl.
• Break in the egg.
• Gradually add half the milk, beating to form a smooth batter.
• Pour in the remaining milk and beat until quite smooth.
• Alternatively, add the flour, milk and egg to a blender or food processor and blend until smooth.
• Pour the batter into the roasting pan and bake for 40-45 minutes, until the batter is well risen and golden.
