  • Preparation: 45 min
  • Cooking: 50 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (222 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Vegetarian
  • Contains: dairy, egg, gluten, honey

Ingredients

  • 30 g Peperkoek (Belgian spiced honey cake)
  • 25 g Stale white bread
  • 120 g Milk, whole
  • 25 g Eggs
  • 15 g Brown sugar (cassonade)
  • 6 g Butter
  • 0.4 g Cinnamon, ground
  • 0.1 g Nutmeg, ground
  • 0.3 g Salt

Method

  1. Heat the oven to 180 °C and grease a shallow 26 cm pie dish with a little of the butter.
  2. Break the peperkoek and the stale bread into small pieces in a large bowl.
  3. Heat the milk with the rest of the butter until the butter melts and the milk is hot but not boiling, then pour it over the bread and peperkoek. Leave to soak for 30 minutes.
  4. Mash the soaked mixture with a fork, or blend it briefly, into a thick, smooth batter.
  5. Beat the eggs with the brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt, and stir them into the batter until evenly brown.
  6. Pour into the dish and smooth the top; it should be about 2-3 cm deep. Bake for 45-50 minutes, until set in the middle and dark brown on top; a knife pushed into the centre should come out almost clean.
  7. Leave to cool in the dish, where it firms up. Serve at room temperature or chilled, cut into wedges.
