Ingredients
Method
1.Preheat oven to 180°C. Line a 6-cup Texas muffin pan with paper cases.
2.In a medium bowl, combine the ground almonds, cinnamon, chocolate, chopped feijoas and raspberries and toss to coat the fruit, then set aside.
3.In a big jug, combine the sugar, 4 whole eggs, 2 egg yolks, milk, cream and vanilla. Whisk with a fork until well mixed. Place torn bread in a large bowl and pour over ½ of the custard mixture. Leave to soak for 20 minutes.
4.Half fill the muffin pan using ½ the bread mixture, add a layer using ½ the fruit mixture, then top with remaining bread mixture. Carefully pour remaining custard into each to fill, then top with remaining fruit mixture.
5.Sprinkle with flaked almonds and demerara sugar and bake for half an hour or until golden and a knife inserted in the middle comes out clean. Serve warm with cream or custard.
These bread and butter puddings are delicate and best eaten warm. If you prefer, you can cook as one large pudding in an ovenproof dish.
