I did not realize how much of a sweet tooth I am until I sat at my desk to write this post.
Today’s recipe it can either be served either as a breakfast dish or as a dessert. I know the title can be deceiving, furthermore only associated with breakfast, but if you skip the maple syrup, make yourself a warm cup of tea or coffee, and voila, you have dessert ready to be enjoyed.
With this recipe, I used sweet Hawaiian Bread. However, you can also use Challah loaf or brioche bread.
If the bread is a day only, even better.
While assembling the dish make sure the fruits are evenly distributed on top of the bread, which makes for even cooking, and the middle will not be soggier and the outer of the dish a bit dry.
And of course, time permitting, letting it rest overnight in the refrigerator will allow all the flavors to blend with others.
What I love the most of this dish is its simplicity of it. An old recipe that will withstand time and the most demanding palates.

Storage and reheating options
Store it overnight in the original baking dish or transfer it to a smaller one before placing it in the refrigerator.
Allow it to come back to room temperature before placing in the oven a 325F for about 15 minutes to reheat. Dab a few drops of butter and then place a sheet of aluminum foil over it before inserting it in the warm oven.
