• You will also need a shallow ovenproof baking dish lightly buttered, about 8" x 8" square or 7" X 9".

• In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs and then pour the chocolate mixture over them and whisk again very thoroughly to blend them together.
• Spoon about half an inch of the chocolate mixture into the base of your buttered baking dish and arrange half the bread triangles over the top of the chocolate mixture in overlapping rows.
• Pour half the remaining chocolate mixture all over the bread triangles & smooth the mixture evenly over them.
