Bread puddings for breakfast is a great option on a busy weekend morning. Adding fruit preserves into the pudding itself gives a tasty spin. I like to experiment with different preserves and apricot is one of my favorites. Any type of bread like French / Italian / Brioche / Challah / Whole wheat can be used.
