Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

In a bowl, mix 1.5 cups of all-purpose flour with 0.5 teaspoons of salt and a pinch of black pepper.

Whip 4 eggs in a separate bowl.

In another bowl, combine 1.5 cups of milk and 2 tablespoons of melted butter, then add the whipped eggs and mix well.

Let the batter rest for about 20 minutes.

Coat a heat-proof dish with avocado oil, ensuring the edges are also coated.

Slice the English banger sausages in half and stand them up in the oiled dish.

Place the dish in the oven for about 15 minutes until the oil is hot and the sausages are sizzling.

Carefully pour the rested batter over the hot sausages in the dish and close the oven door immediately to retain heat.

Bake for 25-30 minutes without opening the oven door.

While the dish is baking, prepare the gravy by frying finely minced onion in butter until caramelized.

Add mushrooms to the caramelized onions and deglaze the pan with beef broth and red wine.

Bring the mixture to a boil and check for seasoning, adding salt and pepper as needed.

Thicken the gravy with a flour and water mixture, ensuring the liquid is boiling before adding it.

Wait for the toad in the hole to finish baking, about 15 more minutes after the initial 30 minutes.
