  2. 2

    Arrange

    Lay the slices in a greased ovenproof omelet dish.

  3. 3

    Pour over the stock

    Whisk the egg yolks well, add the meat stock, and pour the mixture over the bread in the dish. Sprinkle a thick layer of cheese over.

  4. 4

    Bake

    Bake the pudding in a hot oven (200 °C (390 °F)) for about 25 minutes.
