Ingredients
- 25g butter, softened
- 1 garlic clove, crushed
- 4 thick slices stale white bread
- 12 cherry tomatoes
- 50g ham, roughly chopped
- 500ml milk
- 3 eggs
- 50g cheddar, grated
Method
-
Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Mix the butter and garlic together, then use a little to grease a shallow baking dish or tin. Use the rest to butter the bread slices, then cut them in half diagonally.
-
Arrange the bread slices, overlapping, in the baking dish. Tuck the cherry tomatoes and ham in and around them.
-
Whisk the milk and eggs together, and season with salt and pepper. Pour over the bread and gently push the slices down in the liquid. Leave to stand for 5 mins. Scatter the cheese over the top, then bake for 35-40 mins until golden and just set. Serve with a crisp green salad.
