Very easy and the ultimate in comfort food.
Preheat oven to 180C and lightly grease a 6-cup, ovenproof baking dish.
Butter each piece of bread then spread with the marmalade.
Lay slices across the base of your baking dish.
Whisk together eggs, sugar, milk, cream and vanilla paste and pour this mixture over the bread slices, pressing down so each one is immersed in the custard.
Bake in moderate oven for 25 minutes or until the pudding is just beginning to colour and most of the liquid has been baked into the bread slices.
