Savoury Bread Pudding

Method

• Prep Ingredients: Dice the bacon, chop the onion, crush the garlic and grate the parmesan cheese.
• Preheat the oven to 180° C.
• In a small frying pan heat the oil over medium heat. Add the bacon/ham and onion once the pan is hot and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the crushed garlic and continue stirring for an additional minute until everything is well combined. Set aside to cool
• If the bread is still soft, toast it slightly until crisp.
• In a separate bowl combine eggs, milk, tasty cheese, salt, pepper and herbs.
• Break the bread into chunks and combine with the egg mixture. The bacon should now be cool so combine that to the full mixture as well.
• Add the egg, bread and bacon mixture to each muffin tin, ensuring an even spread of bread and liquid.
• Cover each muffin tin with a generous layer of parmesan. Cover the muffin tin with aluminium foil and bake for 20 minutes.
• After 20 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-30 minutes. The puddings should be browned on top and a toothpick inserted down the middle should come out clean.
