Crispy Polony Toad in The Hole
A childhood classic, easy-to-make
As a father of three children, I know that the best way to get children to eat all different types of foods, is to expose them to the kitchen. And so I made this classic toad in the hole dish together with the children. They loved being part of the process, and loved eating it too!
Ingredients to make toad in the hole
2 slices of buttered brown bread cut the centre with cookie cutter
2 thick slices Simply Chicken Polony
1 egg
How to prepare toad in the hole
Dice and then fry the Polony bits until crispy.
Use a cookie cutter to cut shapes out the bread.
Place the cut out bread into the frying pan.
Add the Polony bits into the hole, then add an egg and fry on low heat sunny side up.
Enjoy! Please tag me on Instagram if you’ve made this recipe, I’d love to see it!

If you’re looking for an easy and healthy, kid-friendly breakfast recipe, these chorizo, mushroom, egg and cheese in beetroot wrap cups were a hit with my children. I also love a hearty breakfast, like this pork sausage shakshuka. And if it’s pancakes you’re looking for, I have published several recipes on this blog. The most popular by far is this fluffiest flapjack recipe, which we make every year on Mother’s Day. For a healthier version, these banana, oats and egg pancakes are easy to make, and delicious. And let’s not forget the pink lady apple donut flapjacks, these were a firm favourite with our kids as well. All in all, they say breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and with these recipes you won’t have a reason to skip it.

Shawn Godfrey is an entrepreneur based in Cape Town, South Africa. After the Covid-19 lockdown saw his business in financial distress, cooking was the creative outlet that helped to keep him sane. To keep track of his recipes, and encourage friends and families to join him, he starts his instagram account The Roasted Dad.
Fast-forward to late 2021 - on a whim Shawn (encouraged by his wife Lianne) enters MasterChef South Africa. It is a crazy time of life: running a 200 people business and struggling to keep it profitable, two small children with a third on the way, and about to move into a new house. But when Shawn gets selected to be one of the 20 contestants participating in the fourth season of MasterChef South Africa, he decides to go all in. Leaving his 7-month-pregnant wife to look after their then three and one-year-old children, he battles it out and comes back home five weeks later with the trophy and a million rand prize money in his pocket.
It all started with an Instagram account, but The Roasted Dad is so much more now. Shawn has stayed his entrepreneurial self and whilst he hosts Private Dinner Parties and Cook-with-Me Demos, does Restaurant Take-Overs, he still runs the lighting company and several other businesses.
On his blog, Shawn shares Restaurant Reviews and Accommodation Reviews, and gives an insight into the wild and wonderful life he leads together with his wife Lianne, and their three children Aiden (7), Olivia (5) and Harvey (3).

I made these cheesy polony rollups together with the children. By adding some spinach, it had some good nutrients in the dish. They loved being part of the process, and loved eating it too!
