To make this dreamy dessert all year round, simply swap the panettone for M&S luxury fruit loaf. Tom Kerridge says: "If you’re like me and always have leftover panettone, you might enjoy this recipe for Christmas panettone eggy bread with spiced fruit compote. It’s easy, delicious and full of warm, festive spices. Soft and fluffy panettone is dipped in vanilla custard and pan-fried in butter, then topped with sweet, spiced fruits with a hint of brandy and luxurious vanilla ice cream.

step 1
Pour the apple juice (150 ml) into a small saucepan and bring up to a simmer. Add the Bramley apple (1), Braeburn apples (2), brandy (2 tbsp), spices (1 tsp), sugar (4 tbsp) and vanilla (1 tsp) to the pan. Place over a medium heat and simmer gently for 5-8 minutes. Add the brandy-soaked mixed fruit (50 g) and cook again for another 5 minutes or until all the fruit is tender.
step 2
Crack the eggs (2) into a shallow dish and add the vanilla (1 tsp) and cream (100 ml). Whisk well until combined. Dip the panettone (1/2) into the custard mix and turn over until soaked on all sides. Place each wedge onto a tray and repeat with the remaining panettone.
step 3
Heat half the butter (45 g) in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. When the butter is foaming, place 2 of the soaked panettone wedges into the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Remove and repeat with the remaining butter and panettone.
step 4
Serve each wedge in a serving bowl and spoon the compote alongside. Add a scoop of ice cream (to taste) and dust liberally with icing sugar (to taste).
