SAVORY EGG CUSTARD TOPPING

Method
- Pre-heat oven at 350 deg F/180 deg Celsius
- In a medium bowl, mix together milk and bread to soften it
- Set aside
- Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish, or a cast iron

- Add to a bowl, followed by bread mixture, chutney, grated apple, lemon juice and zest, and Worcestershire – add raisins here, if desired
- Season to taste with salt and pepper
- Add beef mixture into greased casserole dish or cast iron pan
- I used a 10 inch pan

- This helps keep the eggs mixture afloat and forms a nice custardy top when baked,
- Bake in the oven for around 40-50 minutes
- While bobotie is baking, mix together eggs, cream , milk and a ¼ teaspoon of turmeric
- Take the meat out of the oven, pour the eggs mixture over the beef
