Serving suggestion
1 Preheat oven to 160ºC. Lightly spray a 6-cup capacity baking dish with olive oil.
2 Spread each piece of toast or bread with spread and jam. Cut each slice diagonally to form triangles. Lay half the slices on base of prepared dish, overlapping if necessary. Scatter over half the apricot and half the chocolate. Add remaining bread slices, triangle points facing skyward. Sprinkle over remaining apricot and chocolate.
3 Place milk, eggs, vanilla and sugar in a large bowl, whisking to combine. Pour mixture over bread, then set aside for 10 minutes to allow pudding to absorb mixture.
4 Bake for 30–35 minutes or until egg mixture is just set. Dust with icing sugar, drizzle over vanilla custard, then serve divided among 12.
