Instructions
1
Heat the oven to 180°C (350°F) and lightly toast the torn bread pieces on a tray for 5-6 minutes until dry and golden at the edges.
2
In a jug, whisk the skim milk, egg whites, whole egg, whey protein isolate, brown sugar, cinnamon, cloves and vanilla extract until fully dissolved and smooth.
3
Divide the toasted bread, raisins and diced apple between the two ramekins, tossing gently so the fruit is distributed through the bread.
4
Pour the milk-protein custard evenly over the bread in both ramekins, pressing the bread down gently with a spoon so it soaks up the liquid; let stand for 10 minutes.
5
Scatter the crumbled cottage cheese and chopped pecans over the top of each ramekin.
6
Place the ramekins on a baking tray and bake for 28-32 minutes until the custard is just set and the top is golden and slightly puffed.
7
Rest for 5 minutes before serving warm, straight from the ramekin.
