soft brown sugar (or any sugar available)
500 grams full fat milk
3 large eggs

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: milk

💰Cheaper: evaporated milk

Milk provides a lighter texture while keeping it creamy.

butter

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: margarine

Coconut oil is dairy-free and adds a subtle flavor.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey is natural and can enhance flavor.

raisins

🥗Healthier: dried cranberries

💰Cheaper: sultanas

Dried cranberries add a tartness and are often more affordable.

1

Cut the stale sourdough bread into slices and butter it generously with about 50 grams of butter.

2

Layer the buttered bread slices in a Pyrex dish like a jigsaw puzzle.

3

Sprinkle sultanas or other dried fruit over the bread layers.

4

Add a couple of tablespoons of soft brown sugar (or any sugar available) over the fruit.

5

In a bowl, beat together 3 large eggs and 500 grams of full fat milk to create the custard mixture.

6

Pour the custard mixture over the layered bread and fruit, ensuring it is well soaked.

7

Let the mixture sit and soak for at least 30 minutes.

8

Sprinkle a little more sugar on top (Demerara sugar recommended for crunchiness) and optionally add nutmeg and cinnamon.

9

Cover the dish and let it sit for at least half an hour before baking.

10

Bake in the oven at 180 degrees Celsius for 30 to 35 minutes until the custard is set and the top is crusty.
