Cheesy Bread Pudding

Substantial and tasty, this is comfort food at its most veggie.

For 6 people you will need;

1 loaf Stale bread – sliced

1 Mozzarella & 2 handfuls of grated Parmesan Cheese & Grated Cheddar

2 Eggs

1 punnet Cherry tomatoes – cut in half

1 kg spinach

150ml double cream

1 clove garlic

Salt & Pepper

Saute the cherry tomatoes, garlic and spinach together in 1 tbsp olive oil over a medium flame, until the spinach wilts and the tomatoes break down. Season to taste.

Mix cream and eggs together..

Lay slices of stale bread in a roasting tin. Spread a tablespoonful of the tomato spinach mix over as equally as possible, then sprinkle cheeses and add couple of chunks of mozzarella. Pour some of the cream mixture over the top, then repeat the process until you have used all ingredients.

Set aside in the fridge until bread swells, appearng to have soaked up most of the creamy mixture. (1 – 2 hours)

Place in a preheated oven at 200 degrees for 45 minutes.  Let cool slightly before serving.
