Heat the milk, butter, lemon zest, and vanilla without boiling.
Add the breadcrumbs to the hot milk and let stand for 10 minutes.
Beat the egg yolks with half of the sugar and stir into the milky crumbs.
Pour the mixture into a baking dish and bake in a 170°C oven for 20 minutes, until the base sets.
Spread the jam thinly over the base.
Beat the egg whites with salt and the remaining sugar until glossy meringue forms.
Spread the meringue over the jam and bake the dessert for 15 more minutes.
💡 Tip: Do not spread the jam too thickly over the warm base; a thin layer balances the pudding under the meringue and reduces weeping.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve queen of puddings warm, with fresh fruit instead of extra cream.
