Servings
Serves 4
Ingredients
6- 8 medium thick slices of bloomer loaf cut into small squares (crusts left on)
70g/2½ oz melted butter
250g/9oz blueberries
4 medium eggs
425ml/3/4 pint milk
1 tsp vanilla essence
4 tbsp caster sugar (reserve 1 for sprinkling on top)
25g/1oz flaked almonds
Method
Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5. Place bread on a baking tray and drizzle with melted butter- cook for 10 minutes until lightly browned. Beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla and sugar. Place the bread in a lightly greased shallow ovenproof dish with the blueberries, pour over the egg mixture. Sprinkle with flaked almonds and remaining sugar and allow to stand for about 30 minutes so the egg mixture will soak into the bread. Bake for about 40 minutes until golden brown and lightly set. Serve hot with Greek yoghurt. PER SERVING 497Kcal, fat 26.3g, saturarted fat 12.1g, salt 1.2g, carbohydrate 52.2g, sugar 30.9g, fibre 3.1g
