Preheat the oven to 400°F. Grease a baking dish.

In the meantime, whisk together the cornflour, chives, eggs, and parmesan. Add the milk in two stages, whisking in-between. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour the batter into the baking dish around the sausages and return to the oven. Bake for abut 25 minutes until golden, puffed, and beautiful.
For the onion gravy
Melt the butter in a frying pan over medium heat and add the onions and rosemary. Fry for about 10 minutes until softened.

Add the red wine mixture to the pan and cook, stirring, until the alcohol has burned off.
Add the stock and cook for about 15-20 minutes, until glossy and thickened, stirring occasionally.
