Mexican Bread Pudding (Capirotada)
A ramekin-sized rendering of capirotada, Mexico's layered bread pudding built from toasted bread soaked in a cinnamon-clove piloncillo-style syrup, studded with raisins, peanuts and banana, and finished with crumbled fresh cheese for a salty-sweet contrast.

Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly butter 2 ramekins (180ml each).
2
Toast the bread slices until golden and slightly dry, then brush both sides lightly with the melted butter.
3
In a small pan, combine the water, brown sugar, cinnamon stick and cloves; simmer gently for 5 minutes until syrupy, then strain out the whole spices.
4
Tear the toasted bread into rough pieces and divide half between the two ramekins.
5
Scatter half the raisins, peanuts, crumbled cottage cheese and banana slices over the bread in each ramekin.
6
Repeat with the remaining bread, raisins, peanuts, cottage cheese and banana to build a second layer in each ramekin.
7
Spoon the warm cinnamon-clove syrup evenly over both ramekins, pressing gently so the bread soaks it up.
8
Place the ramekins on a baking sheet and bake for 20-22 minutes until the tops are golden and slightly crisp.
9
Rest for 5 minutes before serving warm, straight from the ramekin.
