1. Preheat the oven to 200C/Gas 6/fan oven 180C. Tip the onions into a small shallow non-stick tin (about 23x30cm/ 9x12in). Arrange the sausages on top of the onions, then add the oil and roast for 20 minutes.
2. While they are roasting, make the batter. Sift the flour into a bowl, drop the egg in to the centre and beat in the milk a little at a time until it makes a smooth batter. Stir in the mustard and thyme and season.
3. Pour the batter quickly into the tin and return to the oven for 40 minutes until the batter is risen and golden. Serve with steamed carrots and cabbage.

'Our low-fat sausages were excellent. The herby batter gave the dish a different combination of flavours - I really enjoyed it.'

  A really tasty alternative, I accompanied it with mustard mash, sugar and balsamic roasted carrots and onion gravy. My batter didn't rise, but I think that was my own fault and it was lovely anyway!

  Brilliant recipe - didn't have thyme available but still turned out really well.

  Very tasy dish even though mine did go a bit soggy. Might try it again with less milk as I use lactose free milk which never seems to thicken in sauces, etc.

  Oh. My. Goodness. Utterly gorgeous! I have always had tasteless gooey toad-in-the-hole fed to me when I was a child and have avoided this dish like the plague ever since. However when I saw this recipe I wanted to give it a try as my hubby and son love this kind of thing. Served it up with roast potatoes, peas and gravy and was devoured within minutes. Good cheap, easy dish that will be a firm family favourite from now on! Highly recommended! Now off to share this on my Facebook page...
