4. BACON and EGG BREAD PUDDING

serves four


8 rashers of bacon, crisply grilled, rinded and chopped
5-6 slices of bread, buttered
2 eggs
1 1/4 cups milk
1 garlic clove, crushed
1/2 cup grated Cheddar cheese
salt and black pepper

Sandwich the bacon between the bread slices, cut into triangles and arrange in a buttered ovenproof dish. Mix the eggs, milk and garlic, and season to taste. Pour over the bread and leave to soak up for about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350˚F. Sprinkle the grated cheese over the top of the bread pudding and bake for 30-40 minutes, until golden brown. (Finish off under the grill if it needs further browning.)
