"From "Notebook" February 2006. Ignore the word "pudding". This is not a dessert recipe. Its a quick easy recipe from the magazine that has become one of my favourites."

directions

  • Preheat the oven to 180 deg Celsius.
  • Butter the sliced ciabatta and then cut into 3 cm cubes. Divid the bread, ricotta, tomatoes and basil between 4 1-cup capacity ovenproof bowls of dishes. Toss the ingredients to combine and then place the bowls on an oven tray.
  • Whisk the milk and eggs together in a jug and season with salt and pepper. Pour the egg mixture evenly into bowls and then set aside for 10 minutes to allow the bread to soak up some of the egg mixture.
  • Sprinkle puddings with parmesan then bake for 40 minutes or until golden and a skewer inserted into the centre comes out clean.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Variations: Try baby spinach for basil and prosciutto instead of tomatoes.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I'm an ex-pat NZer living in the tropical Top End of Australia. Which makes it a perfect place to make homemade bread and summer recipes all year around. I experiment on my 3 kids who have grown up trying new Zaar recipes every other day and they are thriving. I'm the lacto-ovo vegetarian in the family and somehow I got roped in to become a Forum Host here at Zaar. So check out the Vegetarian and Vegan Forum http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewforum.zsp?f=43 and feel free to join in whether you are a fully fledged vegan or someone who needs to cater for a vegetarian and has no idea where to start. Every year I try to do something a bit different to push the envelope a little bit. In 2005 I learned how to sail a dinghy; 2006's grand passion is mosaics. Check out my blog! Between raising three children, working almost fulltime and trying to pursue my hobbies...let's say that my time management skills have greatly improved over the years! I am also very interested in living a sustainable lifestyle. Essentially I'm finding that I'm getting back to the country lifestyle I enjoyed in my childhood even though these days I live in themiddle of suburbia. To this end I have started gardening although I am a total gardening virgin when it comes to gardening in a tropical climate. I also have a cookbook with a number of recipes you can make from scratch. Living clean and green is good for you AND cheaper!
