Instructions

Step 1

In a large skillet add olive oil and heat until hot. Add leeks and allow them to crisp up and turn golden brown in the oil, stirring occasionally. Drain with a slotted spoon and set aside to cool.

Step 2

Preheat oven to 375F(190C).

Step 3

Cut bread into bite-sized cubes. Place on baking sheet and bake at 375F (190C) for 15 minutes until dried out. Allow to cool and set aside.

Step 4

Spray 1 cup (240ml) oven safe ramekins with baking spray, place on a rimmed lined cookie sheet and set aside.

Step 5

In a large bowl add eggs, cream and wine and whisk to combine.

Step 6

Add cheese, ham, cooled leeks, chives and freshly cracked pepper. Stir to combine.

Step 7

Fold in bread cubes, making sure all bread is soaked in the egg batter.

Step 8

Scoop out 2 scoops of the bread pudding mixture with an ice cream scooper into the ramekins. The first scoop should be more egg batter than bread, the second scoop more bread than egg batter. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon (5ml)of reserved grated Swiss cheese on top of bread cubes.

Step 9

Group ramekins together on the baking tray, and cover as a grouping with foil. Place in refrigerator overnight.

Step 10

The next morning pre-heat oven to 375F (190C) and remove foil and place tray with ramekins in oven for 25 minutes until bread on top turns golden brown. Then cover gently with clean foil and continue baking until egg is set for 10 minutes more. Serve immediately.
