Bread & butter pudding toast

Bread and butter pudding is a lovely dessert but it can be on the heavy side, especially if you’ve just eaten a big dinner. I’ve simplified a recipe that I serve at my restaurant, The Black Swan in Oldstead, and added the caramel crunch you get on a crème brûlée to come up with a twist that’s indulgent but much lighter and quicker to make. It’s also fun to serve with unsweetened whipped crème fraîche for dipping the toast soldiers into.
