Ingredients
- 6 pieces lean chicken or turkey sausages
- 6 large egg whites
- 2 large whole eggs
- 240 ml unsweetened almond milk (or your choice of milk)
- 120 g oat flour (gluten-free if needed)
- 30 g whey protein powder (unflavored or savory)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 0.5 tsp salt
- 0.5 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 220°C (425°F). Place a rectangular baking dish (approximately 9x13 inches) in the oven to heat.
Step 2
While the oven preheats, prepare the batter. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg whites, whole eggs, almond milk, oat flour, whey protein powder, baking powder, salt, and black pepper until smooth and lump-free. Set aside.
Step 3
On a stovetop, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for 5-6 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides (they don't need to be fully cooked; they will finish cooking in the oven).
Step 4
Carefully remove the hot baking dish from the oven and immediately pour in the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil, spreading it evenly across the bottom of the dish.
Step 5
Quickly arrange the browned sausages in the hot dish, spacing them evenly. Immediately pour the batter over the sausages, ensuring they are mostly submerged but still visible at the surface.
Step 6
Place the dish back in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the batter is puffed up and golden brown. Avoid opening the oven to keep the dish from deflating.
Step 7
Remove the Toad in the Hole from the oven and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm.
