Cheesy bread pudding.

Another great favourite.  This is a savoury dish rather than a dessert despite the name.

The quantities for this dish depend on the size of your pie dish.

• Approx 6 large slices of bread or more if the slices are small.
• Tub of cream cheese 
• 1 Onion
• 4 Eggs
• A little milk or cream if required
• 2oz mature cheese - grated
• A little chopped ham or bacon (Optional)

Grease a pie dish and heat the oven to 170C.  Reg 5.

• Spread cream cheese on the bread, if using large slices cut them in half diagonally.
• Dice the onion
• Beat the eggs adding a little milk or cream if you don't think you will have enough liquid to cover the bread.
• Arrange slices of bread in the pie dish in one layer, overlapping slightly, you may have to cut some pieces even smaller to fit them to the shape of the dish.
• Sprinkle some diced onion some grated cheese and ham or bacon if using, over the slices, then repeat the layering until all the bread, onion and cheese etc are used up. 
• Pour the egg mixture over the bread etc and leave to soak in for a while.
• Put into oven for 20 - 25 mins until the egg is set and just turning brown.
