Savoury Sausage, Tomato Bread & Butter Pudding
Serves 4
Cooking time: 30-40 minutes
Ingredients
6-8 good quality sausages, of whatever flavour you prefer
9 medium slices of white bread
40g butter, at room temperature
4 tbsp bought caramelised onions/ onion relish
12-16 cherry tomatoes
5 large eggs
200ml double cream
1 tbsp English mustard powder
1 tsp dried thyme
100g mature cheddar, grated
You will also need a 1.5-1.8 litre baking dish.
Method:
First of all you need to cook the sausages either in the oven, grill or frying pan. Once cooked, and cool enough to handle, slice into roughly 1 cm pieces.
Butter the bread, then cut each piece diagonally in half. Spread the caramelised onions on the bottom of the buttered dish. Arrange the bread in the dish, in overlapping layers, adding slices of the sausages and tomatoes in between the layers.
In a large bowl beat together the eggs and then mix in the cream, mustard powder, thyme and half of the cheese. Season with salt and pepper, then slowly pour this over the bread, pressing down so the slices are submerged. Scatter over the remaining cheese, and leave to stand for about 10 minutes, for the mixture to soak into the bread.
Pre-heat the oven to 180ºC/fan 160ºC fan oven/gas 4.
Place on a baking tray and then put into the oven for 30-40 minutes until the top is golden and the eggs are set when you press the centre of the dish.
Serve hot with a vegetable of your choice.
