Introduction

Toad in the hole is a classic British dish featuring juicy sausages baked in a fluffy Yorkshire pudding batter. This recipe adapts the traditional method for the Ninja Dual Air Fryer, making it quick and easy with a perfectly crisp finish.

The dish shows three shiny, browned sausages nestled inside a golden, puffy toffee-like baked Yorkshire pudding that forms a curved edge around the sausages, creating a textured and slightly crispy look. To the right of the Yorkshire pudding, there is a pile of smooth, creamy mashed potatoes colored pale yellow, with a few lumps for texture. Above the sausages and potatoes is a small mound of bright green peas that look fresh and round. The meal is presented on a white plate sitting on a white marbled surface with a blurred dark background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

2 eggs
70g plain flour
100ml milk
1-2 tbsp vegetable oil
4-6 sausages

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Yorkshire pudding batter by whisking together the eggs, plain flour, and milk until smooth and well combined. Set aside or refrigerate if preparing ahead.
Step 2: Place the sausages in one drawer of the Ninja Dual Air Fryer. Remove the crisper plate and pour the vegetable oil directly into the empty drawer.
Step 3: Air fry the sausages for 12 minutes to develop color and heat the oil. After cooking, use tongs or a fork to arrange the sausages evenly.
Step 4: Pour the batter mixture into the drawer around the sausages, ensuring even distribution.
Step 5: Switch the air fryer to bake mode at the default temperature and cook for 15 minutes until the batter rises and is fully cooked. Carefully remove with a spatula and serve warm.

Tips & Variations

Use a mix of pork and herbed sausages for extra flavor.
For a crispier batter, let the batter rest for 30 minutes before cooking.
Add fresh herbs like thyme or rosemary to the batter for an aromatic twist.
Ensure the oil is hot before adding the batter to help it rise nicely.

Storage

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or oven at 160°C (320°F) to maintain crispness. Avoid microwaving, which can make the batter soggy.

How to Serve

A rectangular flaky golden-brown puff pastry base with five grilled sausages on top, each sausage showing dark, charred grill marks and a glossy glaze. The edges of the pastry are puffed and crispy with some bubbling and light charring, creating a textured contrast to the smooth sausages. The dish is set on a wooden cutting board placed on a white marbled surface. In the blurred background, there is a small glass jar filled with bright green peas, a white mug, and part of a white plate with a fork and some mashed potatoes.

FAQs

Can I use a different type of sausage?

Yes, any sausage will work. Choose your favorite—pork, beef, or vegetarian sausages can all deliver great results.

What if I don’t have a Ninja Dual Air Fryer?

This recipe can be adapted to a conventional oven by cooking sausages first, then pouring the batter over and baking at 220°C (425°F) for 20-25 minutes until golden and puffed.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Yorkshire Pudding Batter

2 eggs
70g plain flour
100ml milk

For the Sausages and Cooking

4–6 sausages
1–2 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

Prepare Yorkshire Pudding Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 70g plain flour, and 100ml milk until you have a smooth, well-blended batter. You can prepare this mixture in advance and refrigerate it for a few hours until you’re ready to cook.
Prep Sausages and Oil: Place your sausages evenly into one drawer of the Ninja Dual Air Fryer. Remove the crisper plate and drizzle 1 to 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil directly into the empty drawer where the sausages are placed, making sure the oil is distributed.
Air Fry Sausages: Set the air fryer to air fry mode and cook the sausages for 12 minutes. This step cooks and browns the sausages while heating the oil and fryer basket, ensuring a nice crisp base for the batter.
Arrange Sausages: Using tongs or a fork, evenly spread the sausages in the drawer after air frying to make room for the batter.
Add Batter Mixture: Pour the prepared Yorkshire pudding batter carefully over and around the sausages in the drawer, distributing it evenly.
Bake the Toad in the Hole: Switch your Ninja Dual Air Fryer to bake mode on the default temperature setting. Bake for 15 minutes or until the batter is fully cooked, puffed up, and golden brown.
Serve: Carefully remove the Toad in the Hole from the air fryer using a spatula and serve immediately for a comforting meal.

Notes

You can prepare the batter mixture ahead of time and refrigerate it until needed.
Make sure to evenly space the sausages before adding the batter to allow even cooking and rising.
Use a spatula to carefully remove the dish as it can be delicate when hot.
For a crisper finish, you can broil for a minute or two after baking if desired.
