Who doesn’t love a great breakfast dish? Not me. I’ll eat breakfast morning noon and night if given the chance. So when chef Joshua Fraser of Rino’s Kitchen invited me to try his breakfast creation using a new sausage he collaborated on with Robbie’s Gourmet Sausage Company, how could I say no?

It’s sweet. It’s savoury. It could be the best damn bread pudding you will ever try. It’ll also help you get rid of any leftover croissants you may have laying around.
