Instructions

1.
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease an 8x8 inch baking dish with butter.
2.
Roast the Jersey Royal potatoes until tender, about 20-25 minutes. Let cool slightly.
3.
In a large bowl, whisk together the Jersey milk, melted Jersey butter, honey, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
4.
Add the cubed brioche bread to the bowl and gently toss to coat well. Press the bread down to ensure it's soaked in the custard. Let sit for 15 minutes to allow the bread to absorb the liquid.
5.
Gently fold in the roasted Jersey Royal potato pieces and seasonal berries (if using) into the bread mixture, distributing them evenly.
6.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish.
7.
Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the bread pudding is golden brown and set. A knife inserted into the center should come out mostly clean.
8.
Let cool slightly before serving. Dust with icing sugar if desired. Serve warm.

Chef's Tips

For a richer flavor, use heavy cream instead of some of the milk.

To avoid a soggy bottom, you can blind bake the bread pudding for 10 minutes, remove it from the oven, add the egg and potato mixture and cook for 30 minutes

Feel free to substitute other seasonal fruits like apples or pears if berries aren't available.

Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
