*Welsh Cheese Pudding*
Serves 4 - 6

Kind of like a savoury bread and butter pudding made with cheese and leek sandwiches.  You can use sliced onions if you don't have any leeks.  It's quite delicious!

3 medium slices of white bread, crusts removed
3 medium slices of whole wheat bread, crusts removed
2 ounces (1/4 cup) butter, softened
1 medium leek, washed, trimmed and very thinly sliced
8 ounces caerphilly cheese, crumbled (can use strong cheddar)
2 large free range eggs
1/4 tsp dry mustard powder
1 pint of milk (2 cups)
salt and pepper to taste
a small handful of walnuts, toasted and chopped
finely chopped spring onion to garnish (optional)

Spread each slice of the bread thickly with butter.  Using one white slice and one whole wheat slice for each, make 3 sandwiches using the leek and 3/4 of the cheese.  Press firmly together and then cut each sandwich into 4 triangles.  Arrange them with the points up, in a 2 litre shallow ovenproof dish.

Beat the eggs together with the mustard powder and milk.  Season to taste with salt and pepper.  Pour over top of the sandwiches.  Allow to stand for half an hour before cooking.

Preheat the oven to 160*C/325*F/ gas mark 3.  Scatter the remaining cheese and walnuts over top of the pudding and then cook it in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes.  Scatter the top with the spring onions, if using and serve to some lucky people.
