  • 1 loaf Publix Breakfast Bread
  • 1 -14 oz. can sweetened condense milk
  • 1 C milk
  • 2 eggs
  • 1  tsp. cinnamon
  • 1 tsp. vanilla
  • 1 mango (peeled, seeded and diced)
  • 1 small can fruit cocktail or diced pears (drained)
  •  butter & powder sugar

Preheat oven to 325 degrees.

Tear Publix Breakfast Bread in small pieces and place in large mixing bowl.  In a separate bowl, mix sweetened condense milk, milk, eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon (blend with whisk or fork).   Add liquid to bread and mix well by hand, making sure bread is in small pieces.  Add diced mango and fruit cocktail or pears and mix again.  Let stand for 5-10 minutes to absorb.

Place mixture in an 8 by 8 square baking pan which has been rubbed with a pat of butter.  Place in pre-heated oven for 1 hour.  Remove from oven, sprinkle with cinnamon and dot with a little butter and let cool to firm up.  Can serve room temperature or chilled.  Refrigerate leftovers.  Sprinkle with powder sugar when serving if desired.  Great served with Vanilla ice cream!

Note:  This is a very versatile recipe, you can use raisin bread or other types of bread with fruit.  You can also put whatever you might have in the pantry, such as diced peaches, it’s just as good!  This is made with breakfast bread, but really is for dessert anytime!!
