Totals for the whole recipe, adding one typical portion per ingredient — listed above. Quantities in the recipe are not counted, so this is a rough guide only — not suitable for medical or dietary planning.

Ingredients

  • 17.5 oz (500 g ) stale white bread
  • 2 apples
  • 2 peaches
  • 4 tbsp (60 g) refined sugar
  • 1 pinch ground cinnamon
  • 2 cups (½ L ) milk
  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tsp (20 ml ) rum or a few drops of rum aroma
  • 1 tbsp butter

Directions

1

Wash the apples and peaches, and peel them if desired. Cut them into slices approximately ¼ inch (1 cm) thick.

2

Cut the bread into slices about the same size as the fruit.

3

Pour the milk into a bowl and add the eggs. Mix well. Then take the slices of bread and let them soak in the mixture for a few seconds. This will take longer if you use stale rather than fresh bread.

4

Mix the refined sugar and the cinnamon in a cup or a small bowl.

5

Grease an ovenproof dish , then layer the slices, bread, and fruit alternately in the dish. Sprinkle a bit of the sugar-cinnamon mixture on top of every layer. For the best result, start and end with a layer of bread. You can decide whether you want an apple and a peach layer or whether you would like to mix the different kinds of fruit.

6

Scatter a few flakes of butter on top, and put the dish into the oven for 45 minutes at 180°C/350°F.
