Ingredients

2 cup milk

300 millilitre thickened cream

4 eggs

2 tablespoon chopped parsley

1/2 baguette, thinly sliced

3/4 cup grated tasty cheese

150 gram shaved ham, roughly torn

1 punnet cherry tomatoes

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderately slow, 160°C. Lightly grease 6 individual dishes (or one 2-litre ovenproof dish).

2.Combine milk and cream in a medium saucepan. Stir over low heat until hot but not boiling. Remove from heat.

3.Whisk eggs together in a large bowl. Gradually whisk in hot milk mixture with parsley, and season to taste.

4.Layer baguette and half the cheese in prepared dish. Scatter with ham and tomatoes. Pour over hot milk mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

5.Place dishes in a large baking pan. Add enough boiling water to come halfway up sides of dishes. Bake for 20-25 minutes (40-45 minutes for large dish), or until custard is just set. Serve bread pudding warm or cold, with salad or vegetables.

Halve cherry tomatoes if large. Test custard is set by inserting knife into the centre – if it is clean when removed the custard is set.
