Ingredients

Servings:

2 lb	ground beef
1 unit	onion, diced
2 tbsp	curry powder
2 oz	white bread
1 ¼ cup	milk
3 unit	eggs
3 tbsp	fruit chutney
¼ cup	sultanas
1 tbsp	lemon juice
3 unit	bay leaves
1 ½ tsp	salt

Steps

soak5 min
bread fully saturated and soft
Soak the bread in part of the milk, then squeeze lightly and reserve the milk. The softened bread binds the meat without making the casserole dense.
saute12 min
onion soft and beef no longer pink
Cook the onion, add curry powder until fragrant, then brown the beef gently. Keep breaking up large clumps so the custard later settles over an even surface.
mix5 min
meat evenly seasoned and moist but not wet
Stir in the soaked bread, chutney, sultanas, lemon and salt. Taste before baking because the mild custard will soften the perceived seasoning.
bake25 min
meat mixture hot and beginning to set
Spread the meat in a shallow baking dish and bake briefly so excess moisture evaporates before the custard goes on.
whisk3 min
eggs and reserved milk homogeneous
Whisk the eggs with the reserved milk, pour gently over the hot meat and place bay leaves on top.
bake30 min
custard set with a light golden surface
Bake until the egg layer is just set. Rest before serving so the custard firms enough to portion without becoming rubbery.
