Ingredients

200 gram packet croissants (4), torn into 2cm pieces

1/3 cup store-bought mild salsa

1 cup mixed antipasto vegetables, chopped

90 gram feta, crumbled

8 eggs

1 cup milk

1/2 cup grated parmesan

parsley, roasted truss cherry tomatoes to serve

Method

1.Preheat oven to moderate, 180°C.

2.Arrange half the croissant pieces in four 2-cup ramekins or an 8-cup casserole dish. Spoon 1 teaspoon salsa over each.

3.Add an even amount of antipasto vegetables and feta to each dish. Spoon remaining salsa over evenly. Top with remaining pieces of croissant.

4.In a bowl, whisk eggs and milk together. Season. Pour half the mixture over the croissant, pressing down gently with fingertips. Pour remaining egg mixture over, pressing down to ensure croissant is well soaked in the mixture.

5.Sprinkle with parmesan. Place ramekins in a baking dish, then pour in hot water to come halfway up ramekins.

6.Bake for 20-25 minutes (or 35-40 if large). Sprinkle with parsley and serve with roasted tomatoes.
