Storage
Refrigerate in a covered container at 4 °C or below for up to 2 days; keep topping separate where possible. Reheat thoroughly before serving. Do not leave at room temperature for over 2 hours.
Make ahead
Use bread from the day before. Measure ingredients ahead, but keep milk and eggs chilled until cooking. Fry shortly before serving for the best texture.
Food safety
Use sound eggs; do not taste raw egg mixture. Cook until the center is set with no runny egg. Hot oil can burn: monitor its temperature and never leave it unattended. Allergens: gluten (wheat), milk and egg.
