Grab your supplies…
85g/3oz/1⁄4 cup softened butter
2 teaspoons wholegrain mustard
1⁄2 French stick, thickly sliced
300ml/1⁄2 pint/11⁄4 cups full-fat milk
3 medium eggs
4 tablespoon freshly grated Parmesan cheese
large pinch cayenne pepper
125g/41⁄2oz/1 cup Gruyère cheese, grated
This recipe is cooked on a low setting in a slow cooker for four hours and will serve four people.
Use 25g/1oz butter to grease a 1.2 litre/2 pint heatproof dish that will easily fit into the base of your ceramic slow cooker pot.
Mix together the remaining butter and the mustard and spread it on one side of the sliced bread. Arrange the bread in a single overlapping layer in the heatproof dish, mustard side up.
Whisk the milk, eggs, half the Parmesan cheese, the cayenne and Gruyère together and pour over the bread. Push the bread into the liquid and set aside to soak for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle over the remaining Parmesan. Cover tightly with foil. Put an upturned saucer or metal cookie cutter into the base of the slow cooker pot and lower the heatproof dish onto the saucer or metal cookie cutter (using a wide folded strip of foil to make it easier to lift the hot dish out). Cover with the lid and cook on low for 4 hours.
Preheat a hot grill. Place the heatproof dish under the grill for 2–3 minutes, until the top is golden.
