An Original Recipe by Lorraine Elliott/Not Quite Nigella adapted from Anna's recipe
Preparation time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 1 hour
Serves 6-8 people
- 1/2 loaf of sourdough bread, sliced (about 300-400g or 10.6ozs-14.14ozs.)
- 4 rashers of middle bacon, chopped
- 2 cups grated cheese
- 1 chopped red capsicum/pepper
- 1/2 cup green onion, sliced
- 6 eggs
- 2 teaspoons mustard
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 cups milk
- Dash Tabasco sauce
- 125g/4ozs.butter
- 1 cup crushed Special K or cornflake cereal
Step 1 - Butter a large 9x13inch or 23x33cms glass or ovenproof dish with high sides. Lay down half of the bread and then place the bacon on top and then 1 cup of cheese, red capsicum and green onion. Cover with the remaining half of the bread.
Step 2 - In a bowl beat the eggs, pepper, mustard, Worcestershire sauce, milk and Tabasco sauce. Pour over the bread and add the remaining cup of cheese. Cover with cling film and refrigerate overnight.
Step 3 - The next morning preheat oven to 180C/350F. Melt the butter and drizzle over the top of the pudding and then add the roughly crushed cereal (you can just do this with your hands). Bake for 1 hour. Allow to sit for 10 minutes before eating.
