Ramequin

Ramequin, a speciality of the western French-speaking part of Switzerland, approaches constructing a bread pudding in an unusual way. Slices of bread and cheese, cut to the same size and thickness, are slanted and overlapped in a baking dish and a light custard mixture is poured over them. While this is usually made with a white sandwich bread like the ones in Chapter 5, I like using more porous breads, like the ones in this chapter.
