A recipe sent in by Sandra of Ipswich who used to make this for her children as a quick and cheap dessert. Now her children make it for their children!

Ingredients

• Slices of white bread
• Softened butter
• Jam (strawberry or raspberry are best)
• ¾ pint of milk
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 2 large eggs

Method

1. Pre-heat the oven to 204°C: 400°F: Gas 6
2. Make up jam sandwiches using the bread, butter and jam. Make enough to fill a large oven-proof dish.
3. Cut each sandwich into 4 small triangles, crusts can be kept on.
4. Place the triangles into the bowl, layering them until the bowl is full to the top with sandwiches. You don't have to be neat with this part, just make sure any gaps are filled.
5. Beat together the milk, sugar and eggs in a jug and pour over the bread mixture. NB: You may need to use more milk if you are using a larger dish.
6. Leave the mixture to soak into the bread for around 10 minutes.
7. Bake in the oven until the top is golden and the egg mixture looks set, around 20-25 minutes.
8. Serve slightly warm with fresh double cream.
