Step 1
Begin by preheating your oven to 180°C. While the oven heats up, toast the bread slices until they achieve a golden-brown color, ensuring a crisp base for the dish.2
Step 2
In a pot over medium heat, mix milk, sugar, cardamom, and saffron. Stir the mixture gently until the sugar completely dissolves and the aroma of cardamom fills the air.3
Step 3
Take the toasted bread and gently dip it into the sweetened milk mixture. Ensure it's soaked completely but avoid excessive soaking to maintain structure.4
Step 4
Arrange the soaked bread slices neatly in a pan, then generously sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top to balance the sweet and savory flavors.5
Step 5
Transfer the pan with its contents into the oven. Allow it to bake for approximately 10 minutes or until the cheddar cheese melts beautifully and forms a golden crust.6
Step 6
Once done, retrieve from the oven, embellish with finely sliced almonds, and serve warm to enjoy each layer and flavor to the fullest.
