Use-up Savoury Bread & Butter Pudding

A quick and tasty lunch using stuff from the cupboard and fridge. I had some Parma ham close to its “use by” date but I’d otherwise have used two or three rashers of bacon: in that case, the bacon should be fried with the onion, etc. Omit the mustard if you don’t want that extra little “bite”.

Ingredient

Food ration :

3 good-sized servings

Cooking time :

30-35 minutes including prep

1 tbsp

vegetable oil

50 g

butter

small onion, chopped

1 clove

garlic, chopped

3 slices

Parma ham, in pieces

red or green pepper, deseeded and in small chunks

4 slices

white bread: use wholemeal/granary bread if preferred

1 tsp

mustard, ready-made of your preferred variety

very little salt and black pepper

eggs

250 ml

milk

60 g

cheese, grated. Cheddar would be normal but use any spare hard cheese. This time I used up some Emmentaler

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Preheat oven to Gas Mark 5 or electric equivalent and butter an ovenproof dish.

* Step 2

Thickly butter one side of the bread slices and cut into triangles or squares and place in dish buttered side up. Gently smear the mustard onto the bread, then add the Parma ham.

* Step 3

Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently fry the onion for 2 minutes. Add the garlic and pepper, stir and fry for a further 2 minutes until all is softened but not browned.
