This Mince Pie and Panettone Bread and Butter Pudding recipe is the ultimate Christmas leftovers recipe. Stale panettone and jars of mincemeat come together for a festive bread and butter pudding like no other.

Christmas leftovers

Imagine the most rich and luxurious bread and butter pudding recipe - and then add all your favourite festive flavours including mincemeat, cinnamon and cognac. Now imagine that it's been made out of ingredients that were leftover and feeling unloved? Interested...let me tell you more.

Bread and butter pudding is one of my absolute favourite desserts, partly because it takes stale bread and turns it in to something rich and luxurious. When I discovered a whole panettone going stale I knew I had to rescue it and turn it into something special. And so the Leftover Mincemeat and Panettone Bread and Butter Pudding recipe was born.

If you know how to make a classic bread and butter pudding then you will need little more instruction than to be told that you're swapping the bread for panettone and you're adding spoonfuls of boozy mincemeat between each slice. If you've not made bread and butter pudding before then don't panic, you will find the full recipe set out below.

If you don't have leftover panettone then use any bread you do have instead. Brioche works particularly well but any old white bread will do.

Top tips for the perfect bread and butter pudding

Make ahead

A simple bread and butter recipe like this takes just 45 minutes from prep to the table though if you want to make it ahead of time, assemble the pudding, pour over the custard mix and leave in a cool place covered with cling film.

Don't overcook!

The key however to the perfect bread and butter pudding is making sure you don't overcook it. A good bread and butter pudding still has a bit of a wobble when it comes out of the oven and its good to let it sit for 5 - 10 minutes. This gives the flavours a chance to settle and mellow. Too hot and you'll burn your mouth, then you won't be able to taste anything! Not ideal at Christmas.

          To be fair I bet lobster risotto is delicious enough deep fried without adding any extra! 🙂 Thank you! We are having a lovely time with family. Hope you're having a wonderful time too xx
