Method
- Heat the grill to high and cook the bacon, turning, for 5-6 minutes until crisp. Set aside to cool, then snip into chunks.
- Meanwhile, spread the sourdough with the butter (save a bit for brushing) and cut the longer slices in half. Mix the eggs, milk, crème fraîche and some salt and pepper in a jug. Stir in three quarters of the cheddar and all the spring onions.
- Layer half the buttered bread in the ovenproof dish, tucking in slices of brie and crispy bacon pieces. Pour over half the egg/milk mixture, spreading the cheese and spring onions evenly around the bread. Arrange the remaining bread, brie and bacon in the dish and pour over the remaining egg/milk mix. Use your hands to gently press the bread into the egg/milk mixture. Scatter with the rest of the cheddar, then brush any exposed bread with the remaining butter. Set aside to soak for 1 hour.
- Heat the oven to 180°C/160°C fan/gas 4. Bake the bread pudding for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and slightly puffed up. Serve straightaway.
