How to Make
- 1.
Prepare the mixture
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 2-quart shallow casserole dish and set aside. Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and whisk until slightly frothy. Pour in the milk, Worcestershire sauce, and kosher salt; whisk to combine. Tear soft white sandwich bread into ~1-inch pieces. Add the bread chunks and finely shredded sharp cheddar to the egg–milk mixture. Stir gently so the bread soaks up the liquid and the cheese is evenly distributed.
- 2.
Bake
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish and spread the bread evenly; smooth the top. Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the pudding is set (with a slight jiggle).
- 3.
Serve
Let the pudding rest for 15 minutes to let the flavours meld and the texture firm up slightly. Serve and enjoy!
