This savory take on a classic sweet bread pudding is made by soaking slices of day-old Turkish sesame bread in an egg-and-milk mixture, then baking them with kashar cheese, a Turkish semi-hard cheese. Serve it hot for breakfast or brunch.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the simit

5 min

Slice the sesame bread rings and arrange them in a greased baking dish.

2

Add the egg mixture

7 min

Whisk the eggs, milk, salt, and black pepper. Pour the mixture over the bread slices and let them soak for at least 5 minutes. Sprinkle the grated kashar cheese over the top.

3

Bake

30 min

Bake in an oven preheated to 190°C / 375°F for 30 minutes, until the top is browned and the eggs are set.

4

Rest

10 min

Let the dish rest for 10 minutes after removing it from the oven. Garnish with parsley and serve.

Reminder

If you soak the bread slices for too little time, the centers may stay dry; let them soak for at least 5 minutes. If you remove the dish from the oven too early, the eggs may remain runny, so bake until set and browned on top. Allergens: wheat (gluten), sesame, egg, and dairy (kashar cheese and milk).
