Step 1
Preheat broiler. Butter a shallow baking dish (8x8 or similar) with 0.5 tbsp butter.
Step 2
Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, and vanilla in a bowl until smooth. Stir in currants.
Step 3
Spread bread cubes in baking dish. Pour custard over evenly, pressing bread gently to absorb.
Step 4
Dot top with remaining 2.5 tbsp butter in small flakes. Let sit 5 minutes for bread to soak.
Step 5
Broil 4–6 inches from heat until top is golden brown and custard just sets, 6–8 minutes.
Step 6
Cool 2 minutes. Serve warm in bowls with a spoon — custard will be soft and jammy.
