Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at local markets or supermarkets in Port Vila. Fresh eggs and milk are readily available. For the bread, any leftover crusty rolls work best, which are common in local bakeries.
Preparation method
- Prepare the syrup by melting the 2 tablespoons of sugar in a large ring mold.
- Carefully coat the bottom and sides of the mold with the caramel.
- Slice the bread rolls into pieces approximately 2 cm thick.
- Arrange the bread slices at the bottom of the prepared mold.
- Blend the milk, eggs, and 2 cups of sugar in a blender until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.
- Stir the lemon zest into the liquid mixture.
- Pour the custard over the bread pieces inside the mold.
- Place the mold into a preheated oven and bake in a bain-marie for 30 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and let it cool slightly before unmolding carefully.
Observations
This recipe transforms simple household staples into a luscious, creamy dessert. The secret lies in allowing the bread to fully soak up the custard base before placing it in the oven to bake.
