Cut bread into 2 cm cubes, then put into a large bowl and add cheese and herbs.
In a separate bowl, whisk eggs and cream, then season to taste with salt and pepper.
Pour egg mixture over bread and mix lightly. Leave overnight.
Next day, preheat oven to 180°C and lightly grease 6 x 150 ml moulds with some of the butter.
Lightly mix batter and spoon loosely into moulds to two-thirds full, ensuring there is an even mix of bread and cheese.
Drizzle over remaining butter and bake until puffed and golden, about 15 minutes.
Serve at once.
