Description
A simple and quick weeknight dish featuring sausages baked in a light batter that puffs up in the oven.
Ingredients
Scale
- 140g all-purpose flour
- 4 large eggs
- 200ml whole milk
- ½ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- 8 pork sausages
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tsp fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 220°C (430°F) and place your baking dish in the oven with oil to heat up.
- In a bowl, whisk together flour, eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth and let the batter rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Brown the sausages in a skillet for 5–6 minutes until golden.
- Remove the hot dish from the oven and arrange the sausages inside.
- Quickly pour the batter over the sausages while the dish is still very hot.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes until the batter is puffed and golden.
- Do not open the oven door while cooking. Sprinkle fresh thyme on top if using.
- Let rest a few minutes before slicing and serve hot.
Notes
Heating the dish with oil helps the batter start cooking on contact. Resting the batter allows it to rise evenly. Browning sausages first enhances flavor and appearance. Avoid opening the oven while baking to prevent the batter from falling.
