Ingredients

2 tablespoons Butter

1/2 cup Carrots (diced)

2 cloves Garlic (crushed)

Directions

Dice the carrot and slice the leek. Juice 1/2 the lemon and set the juice aside. Keep the other 1/2 lemon for other future uses.

Melt the butter in a pan, and cook the carrots for 2 minutes. Then add the leek, lemon juice, and sugar. Cover the pan and cook on lowish heat for about 15 minutes or until the vegetables are soft.

Grease a shallow, ovenproof dish. Slice the French bread, and butter the slices on each side.

Arrange half the bread on the bottom of the greased dish. Spread the vegetables on top, then top with the remaining bread, buttered-side up.

Mix the milk, eggs and garlic together. Season with salt, pepper and any herbs you wish.

Place in the oven and bake for about 1 1/4 hours. When done, the top will be crisp and the custard will be set -- a knife will come out clean.

Comments

Consider adding other veg such as green beans, shredded cabbage, etc.

You want about 1/4 pound of bread.
