Why do they call it Toad in the Hole?

The term “Toad in the Hole” is a traditional British dish that dates back to the 18th century. The name itself is quite whimsical and often sparks curiosity. Despite its peculiar name, “Toad in the Hole” has nothing to do with toads or amphibians.

The dish got its name because it features sausages cooked within a batter or dough, creating the appearance of sausages peeking out from a “hole” in the surrounding mixture. The batter is similar to a Yorkshire pudding batter, made from flour, eggs, and milk, which puffs up around the sausages as it bakes.

The origins of the name are not entirely clear, but one theory suggests that the term “toad” may have been a playful reference to the sausages resembling a toad poking its head out of a burrow. The whimsical name has stuck throughout the years, adding a touch of fun and intrigue to the dish.

It’s worth noting that the term “Toad in the Hole” can also refer to variations of the dish in different countries. For example, in the United States, it may refer to a dish with eggs cooked in holes of bread slices, while in Australia, it could describe sausages baked in a potato batter.

Regardless of its name, Toad in the Hole remains a beloved and comforting dish that brings joy to many with its delicious combination of sausages and batter.

How to Make Toad in the Hole Tortillas

These are simple to make! Preheat your pan on the stove on medium heat.

Add one tortilla and coat with butter – cook for 30 seconds and flip. Crack an egg into the center of each tortilla, making sure it stays contained within the tortilla.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. Flip the tortilla with the egg in it – use a large spatula to keep it together.

Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the tortillas – add the avacado (or sausages and vegetables if using).

Cook for another few minutes. Flip one third towards the middle and repeat with the other side. Flip and serve.

Garnish with your favorite toppings such as salsa, sour cream, or chopped herbs.
