Recipe: Cheese Pudding

I am ending the week on a cheap classic (as in I remember it being made by my mother on a regular basis). Definatley one for the kids when they get to college.

Preheat oven to 200C
Half pint of milk - heat to boiling point.
Add 4oz fresh breadcrumbs (small cubes of white bread do just as well) and 1oz of butter.
Stand for 5 mins
Add 4 oz grated cheddar cheese and season
Mix in 1-2 eggs (I normally use 2 medium)
Pour into greased 1 pint dish and cook until risen and brown on top (25-35mins depending on depth of dish - insert a skewer and it will come out clean if it is cooked)

In summer server with new potatoes and a green veg
In winter serve with baked potatoes and a green veg


Probably worth noting at this point that I have 3 chickens who between them produce an egg a day in the depths of winter (2 or 3 per day during the summer). Free range eggs are therefore readily available in this household. With teenage son still in rapid growth mode, we also have numerous ends of bread loaves. These ends only get fed to chickens as a very last resort. You'll spot the theme!
