Individual Savoury Rabbit Puddings From Leftover Roast Food

INDIVIDUAL SAVOURY RABBIT PUDDINGS - FROM LEFTOVER ROAST

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 210°C.
• If you are using a traditional metal muffin tray grease it then preheat for 10 minutes prior to baking.
• Prepare the french stick by cutting into 8 rounds, then in a separate bowl crack eggs, whisk them together and then whisk the milk inches.
• Soak the bread rounds in the egg mixture until completely drenched, about 20 minutes, like french toast.
• Combine rabbit and veggies in a bowl, slowly add cream to coat and make a dry sauce.
• Add the diced chile.
• When the bread rounds in the egg mixture are ready,.
• Cut the puff pastry into 9cm diameter rounds, or wide enough to cover the bottom and sides of each muffin hole to just a little below the rim.
• Fill with the rabbit mixture to the puff pastry line.
• Place the bread in the egg mixture on top of each pudding and push them firmly down into the rabbit mixture.
• Bake for 20 minutes or until top of bread is dark gold and crispy.
• The puddings are moist but don't have any sauce in the centre so I served them with a mushroom sauce which was absorbed beautifully by the rabbit puddings. Serve as a main with sauce and veggies, or appetizer just with the sauce. This looks different, and your guests will be excited to try them, a great and inexpensive way to use up leftovers.
• Serve with a creamy chardonnay.
