Preheat the oven to 200ºC, gas mark 6. Toss the cherry tomatoes, leek and olive oil in a bowl. Season generously with sea salt flakes and spread in a single layer on a lined baking tray. Roast for 20 minutes, until the tomatoes are starting to char and collapse.
In a food processor, blend the butter, vegan ’nduja, garlic, 100ml milk and 50g feta. Season with pepper. Spread over each slice of bread, then cut each into halves or quarters, depending on size. Leave any remaining mixture in the food processor.
Butter a deep, 20cm square cake tin or similar ovenproof dish and arrange a layer of the buttered bread in the bottom. Top with ½ the roasted tomatoes and leeks and sprinkle with ½ the Cheddar and 50g feta, crumbled in large chunks. Top with another layer of buttered bread, roasted vegetables, and finish with the remaining feta and Cheddar.
Pour the cream and remaining milk into the food processor (containing the leftover butter mixture). Break in the eggs and season well. Pulse a few times, to combine. Pour this mixture over the bread, pushing down a little to ensure it soaks up the liquid. Set aside for at least 10 minutes, or overnight in the fridge.
5 Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4, then bake for 35-40 minutes, or until puffed up, golden and piping hot. It may take longer to cook if it was well chilled. Leave to cool for 5 minutes before serving in squares, with a big green salad. Leftovers can be covered with foil and reheated in a hot oven.
Avoid wasting any bread that’s destined for toast, by preslicing a loaf or loaves and freezing them as soon as you bring them home. You can then toast them directly from frozen.
Make croutons for soup and salads by dicing stale bread and spreading them out in a single layer on a baking tray. Drizzle with olive oil, season and bake at 180ºC, gas mark 4, until the croutons are dried and really crunchy. You can also sprinkle dried herbs or grated parmesan over the bread before baking for croutons with extra flavour.
Pangrattato (meaning breadcrumbs in Italian) is one of my favourite uses for stale bread. Sometimes referred to as ‘poor man’s parmesan’, pangrattato is a mixture of fried breadcrumbs that are sprinkled over pasta dishes, in place of grated hard cheese. Simply tear bread up and pulse in a food processor until you have rough breadcrumbs, then fry in a mixture of olive oil and butter, until the crumbs are browned and crisp. Add some crushed garlic if you like and continue to fry for 1-2 minutes, then remove from heat. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.
