Cheesy Bread Pudding

Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon butter, soft
  • 4 slices whole wheat bread, make sure to use large slices (original says toast, but I used whole spelt soda bread)
  • 2 eggs
  • 150 ml whipping cream
  • 100 ml milk
  • 1 pinch nutmeg, freshly grated
  • 1 pinch hot paprika
  • salt and black pepper
  • 100 g gouda cheese, shredded (or cheddar)

Method

  1. Use the soft butter to grease a 15X15 cm casserole dish.
  2. Cut the bread slices in half diagonally and arrange them in the prepared dish.
  3. Whisk the eggs together with the milk and whipping cream in a bowl. Add the freshly grated nutmeg, hot paprika, salt and black pepper for seasoning.
  4. Gently pour the seasoned egg mixture over the layered bread.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded Gouda cheese evenly over the top.
  6. Place the dish in an oven preheated to 200°C/400°F and bake for 20 minutes, or until the pudding is set and has a nicely browned surface.
