1 tbsp corn oil
1 large onion, finely chopped
1/2tsp thyme
4 1/2oz/125g reduced-fat Cheddar cheese, grated
3oz/75g Parmesan cheese, grated
1 dsp freshly chopped chives
8 medium slices of wholemeal bread, crusts
removed
3 medium eggs
18 fl oz/500ml skimmed milk
black pepper
1. Preheat the oven to 100C/375F/Gas mark 5 and brush an oblong baking dish with a little oil.
2. Heat the remaining oil in a frying pan and fry the onions with the thyme over a gentle heat, stirring occasionally, for 15-20 minutes until very soft and just turning golden. Mix the cheeses and the chives in a small bowl.
3. Put 4 slices of bread on the bottom of the prepared dish ensuring that they fit exactly.
4. Cover with the onion mixture and half the cheese mixture. Put the other slices of bread over and cover with the remaining cheese.
5. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a bowl and season with pepper. Pour this over the bread and cheese mixture.
6. Bake for 30 minutes, or until puffed up and golden.
This is a cheese-lover's delight and makes a really robust meal it needs only a large mixed salad to go with it.
