Prepared either the day before or the morning of Christmas: a quick, easy and super decadent breakfast bake to enjoy with Merry passion after opening all of those presents. Or, if you’re anything like us, wrapping all of the presents lastminutethenightbefore and needing some sort of fix when you wake up from a stressed out half/sleep.
In order to transform our humble Sticky Date Pudding into a breakfast solution, a light egg wash was created…keeping the crucial Sticky Date sweetness with brown sugar (or coconut sugar), and using Brioche instead of sandwich bread for extra soft and custard-like decadence. There’s no need for pre-soaking the night before, as Brioche is super soft and absorbs all of the flavours almost immediately. So feel free to prepare and bake it all in the morning. BUT! For the sake of sanity and a beautiful de-stressed Christmas breakfast, you can prepare this the night before, refrigerate it, and take it out about an hour before baking.
After baking to golden perfection with crispy outer edges, drizzle over the butterscotch caramel sauce — which is not just any sauce. It’s simmered and infused with soft and sticky date pieces for extra flavour.
Every mouthful is reminiscent of the traditional Sticky Date Pudding, with a Brioche twist.

Every mouthful promises soft date pieces; custard soft bread pudding; and a lightened up butterscotch.
