with eggy custard and chocolate chips. I was practically drooling over the TV watching Nigella Lawson make this so I had to give it a go.
the photos do it no justice...but it is amazing!
ingredients
- 250g stale bread, cut into 3cm cubes
- 100g chocolate chips
- 4 eggs
- 40g soft light brown sugar
- 2 x 15ml tablespoons dark rum (I used vanilla galliano instead due to a lack of rum in the kitchen)
- 125ml double cream
- 500ml full-cream milk
- 4 teaspoons demerara sugar
- 1 x ovenproof dish approx. 23cm diameter x 6cm deep (approx. 1.5 litre capacity)
method
- Preheat the oven to 170°C. Grease a round pie dish lightly with butter. Tip in the stale bread cubes; if your bread isn’t stale, then leave slices to dry first, for a while, on a wire rack before cubing and using.
- Toss in the chocolate chips to spread evenly among the bread cubes.
- Whisk together the eggs, light soft brown sugar, rum, double cream and milk. Pour this mixture over the bread and press the cubes down to coat them in the liquid.
- Leave all this to soak for 20 minutes, then sprinkle with the demerara sugar and put straight into the oven for 40–50 minutes. If your oven browns unevenly, turn the dish around halfway through cooking.
- Let the dish stand for a while before serving – if you can (I can't).
