Method

step 1

Put the compote ingredients into a pan and cook for 10-15 minutes until the fruit has started to break down and the liquid has reduced and become slightly syrupy. Remove from the heat and discard the sage leaves.
step 2

Put the eggs, milk, vanilla and caster sugar into a bowl and whisk to combine. Dip each slice of pandoro into the egg and milk mixture, submerging for a few seconds so that it absorbs the liquid. Heat a little butter in a large frying pan, and swirl to cover. Fry a few pieces at a time, cooking for around 3-4 minutes until golden brown on each side. Repeat with the remaining slices and serve hot with the blueberry sage compote.

Pandoro is a traditional Italian yeasted bread – think panettone without the fruit. The mini loaf versions are available from Sainsbury’s and Italian delis at Christmas.
