Leek & tomato eggy bread bake recipe

Ingredients

  • 25g butter, plus extra for greasing
  • 200g crusty white bread, torn into chunks (all the better if it's a few days old)
  • 2 leeks, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 100g cherry tomato, halved
  • 4 eggs
  • 200ml milk
  • 100g strong cheddar, grated
  • ketchup, to serve (optional)

Method

  • Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Grease a baking dish and fill with the torn bread. Heat the butter in a large pan until it starts to foam. Add the leeks and garlic, and cook over a medium heat for 5 mins, stirring as you go. Spoon softened leek mixture over the bread and top with cherry tomatoes.

  • Beat together the eggs, milk and cheddar. Season, then pour over the bread and bake for 15-20 mins until golden and puffy. Serve with ketchup, if you like.
