    • 50g of Grana Padano rind or trimmings, chopped
    • 200ml of double cream
    • 50g of Grana Padano, grated

    STEP 1

    To begin, bring the milk to the boil with the Grana Padano rinds. Remove from the heat, allow to cool and pass through a fine sieve Add the cream to a saucepan with the grated Grana Padano and strained milk. Bring to the boil then remove from the heat Whisk in the egg yolks, season well and pass again through a sieve. Place into the fridge until chilled

    STEP 2

    Preheat the oven to 100°C Decant the chilled mixture into 8 small, buttered, ramekins and place in a deep baking tray. Place the tray on the oven shelf, then fill with warm water so it reaches three quarters of the way up the ramekins. Cook in the oven until they are just set, this should take approximately 1 hour
