Ingredients

10 medium slices white bread
40 g (1 1/2oz) butter, softened
1 Tbsp. wholegrain mustard
150 g (5oz) ham slices
275 ml (9fl oz) whole milk
275 ml (9fl oz) double cream
4 medium eggs
50 g (2oz) mature Cheddar cheese, grated

Directions

1. Step 1
  Lay five of the bread slices on a board. Spread over the butter and mustard. Next, divide the ham among the bread slices and finish by laying another piece of bread on top of each stack. Cut the sandwiches into quarters on the diagonal.
2. Step 2
  Arrange the triangles in a not-too-deep 23cm x 23cm x 7.5cm (9in x 9in x 3in) ovenproof serving dish. In a large jug, mix together the milk, cream, eggs and plenty of seasoning until well combined. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread, then press the bread down a little. Leave to soak in the fridge for 15min, if you have time, otherwise carry straight on.
3. Step 3
  Preheat oven to 180°C (160°C fan) mark 4. Scatter over the cheese and season with freshly ground black pepper. Cook for 30-35min until the egg mixture has set. Serve immediately with a crisp green salad.
