Make the batter: In a large bowl, combine the eggs, salt, pepper, cayenne, 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour, and milk; whisk vigorously until the batter is very smooth with no lumps. Whisk in the water. Cover and let it rest at room temperature for 1 hour.

Cook the sausages: Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sausages and cook until browned, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Take off the heat and transfer them to a buttered 9x12- or 9x13-inch baking dish. Pour the oil from the skillet over the sausages; use a pastry brush to spread the oil over the bottom and up the sides of the dish.

Begin the onion gravy: In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the onion and salt; cook, stirring, until softened and starting to brown, 5 to 6 minutes.

While the onion cooks, pour the batter in and around the sausages. Place the dish in the center of a cold oven and set the temperature to 500 degrees F (260 degrees C). Set a timer for 30 minutes.

While the toad in the hole bakes, finish the onion gravy: Stir in the flour and cook for about 2 minutes. Whisk in the chicken broth and bring back to a simmer. Add the Worcestershire sauce and balsamic vinegar and simmer until the gravy thickens and reduces, about 5 minutes. Reduce the heat to low and stir in the green onions. Taste and adjust the seasoning.

When the timer goes off, remove the toad in the hole from the oven; it should be browned and puffed. Spoon the gravy over the sausages and garnish with green onions and chives.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products
easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.
The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.
Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.
For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
