Toad in a Hole
In Britain, Toad in a Hole involves baking sausages and Yorkshire pudding in a large pan with bacon fat drippings and flour, but this recipe — a Pennsylvania Dutch favorite — is far simpler and far less fattening.

Flipping Toads
As it cooks, the egg adheres to the bread. This makes it super simple to flip the bread in the pan without worrying about dislodging the egg. Be sure to flip your eggs after they've had time to set. Otherwise, you risk getting runny egg all over the place, which won't affect taste but will leave you with a mess.
