Savoury Bread Pudding

Recipe source : Honey Bee Sweets Avocado Bread Loaf…A beautiful loaf but the texture is way too dry for our liking :( The kids rejected after just one mouthful….what to do with this huge loaf of bread? Can't possibly throw and feed Mr Bin right? Not wanting to waste food, I turn it into another dish! A savory bread pudding with cherry tomato, broccoli, ham and cheese! 

This dish looks so pretty with the green broccoli and red cherry tomato :D

Ingredient

• 25gm butter, softened
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 6 slices stale bread
• 12 cherry tomatoes
• 1/2 cup broccoli florets
• 50gm ham, roughly chopped
• 500ml milk
• 3 eggs
• 50gm cheddar cheese, grated

Method

1. Preheat oven to 180 deg cel. Mix butter and garlic together, use a little of the mixture to grease a shallow baking dish. Use the balanced to butter the bread slices, then cut them in half diagonally.
2. Arrange the bread slices, overlapping, in the baking dish. 
3. Tuck the cherry tomatoes, broccoli and ham in and around the bread slices.
4. Whisk the milk and eggs together. Season with some salt & pepper. Pour over the bread slices and gently push the slices down in the liquid. Leave to stand for 5 mins. Scatter the cheese over the top, bake for 35-40 mins until golden brown and just set. Serve warm.
