Want-sum-mor Bread Salad

Cut the loaf of bread into small blocks (approximately 2cm squares). Deep fry or bake to prepare croutons. Place in an airtight container once cooled to prevent them from getting soggy. (Use txbikergirl’s crouton recipe or cheat and buy prepared croutons!)

Beat eggs, vinegar, sugar, mustard powder and seasoning very well. Heat slowly, and whisk continuously to prevent eggs from curdling. Boil, stirring for approximately 2 – 3 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool.

Whip cream, add mayonnaise and mix well. Add to the egg sauce, mixing thoroughly. Place in the fridge.

Cut gherkins into small pieces about the size of the cheese cubes and croutons.

Just before serving, mix croutons, cheese and gherkins.
Pour souce over and stir through, ensuring that everything is smothered in the sauce. Serve immediately and enjoy before the croutons loose their crispiness.
