I remember these when they were by Dietary Specials and called breakfast rolls. The first time I had them I remember thinking they were lovely and just like cakey bread. I’m not surprised Schar rebranded them and called them Brioche. I often have a packet in the cupboard for when I need a quick snack. They are lovely with just jam or banana and are very satisfying.
The other day I made some Almond Macaroons, I only need the whites of two eggs for this recipe so I was left with two yolks. I also had a couple of the Brioche rolls left that were beginning to go a bit stale so I though I would try and make a ‘bread and butter’ pudding.You will need:
- 2 brioche sliced
- 100ml milk
- 4 tablespoons double cream
- the two egg yolks
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- handful of the dried cranberries
- grated orange
- and some ground nutmeg
next:
- preheat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas4
- Grease a dish with butter
- Slice the Brioche ( I didn’t butter it as I felt they were buttery enough) and layer it in the dish with the cranberries and sprinkle over the sugar.
- Combine the milk and cream and heat in a saucepan, being careful not to allow it to boil
- Whisk the egg yolks into the warmed milk and cream add the orange zest and then pour over the brioche
- Finish with a sprinkling of nutmeg then pop in the oven for about 30 minutes or until golden brown and set.
- when done, remove from oven and allow to cool slightly then dish up and slather with cream and enjoy!
They look lovely, have you tried them microwaved or are they best toasted?

Hi Jasmine, they are very tasty. I like them as they are great from the packet and you don’t have to heat them to ‘freshen’ them. I haven’t microwaved them, but I have toasted them.
