  • 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/¾ pint milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla essence
  • 4 tbsp caster sugar (reserve 1 for sprinkling on top)
  • 25g/1oz flaked almonds

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F, gas mark 5).
  2. Place bread on a baking tray and drizzle with melted butter- cook for 10 mins until lightly browned.
  3. Beat together the eggs, milk, vanilla and sugar.
  4. 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 mins so the egg mixture will soak into the bread.
  5. Bake for about 40 minutes until golden brown and lightly set. Serve hot with Greek yogurt.
