A Veggie Toad
A great spin on the classic toad in the hole, that everyone loves!


This is a best of both worlds sort of dish.... lots of healthy seasonal vegetables from the garden, teamed with a lovely satisfying 'toad in the hole' batter! Inspired by a dish developed by Noor Murad (a recipe developer for Ottolenghi), I have no idea why I didnt think of this idea myself! Gorgeous as stand alone dish and even better with some tasty onion gravy!
- Start by making the batter.... put the flour in a large bowl, make a well in the centre and break the eggs in. Whisk to a smooth paste, incorporating as much of the flour as you can. Then slowly add in the milk, whisking all the time to get a nice smooth batter. Leave to stand
- Then prep your veggies and lay out in a high sided baking dish (about 20cm x 30cm). Season, drizzle liberally with virgin olive oil and roast in a hottish oven for about 20 mins
- Finally, remove the tray from the oven, carefully pour in the batter and return to the oven for another 20/25 mins until the batter is well cooked and browned nicely all over. Finish with some chopped chives
