I love bread and butter pudding. 

This is the next best thing. Matzah sprinkled with a tonne of chopped banana, chopped dried apricots and blueberries. (Feel free to swap other fruits in according to your taste or what you have in your fruit bowl.)

The fruits are generously dredged with cinnamon and coconut sugar before a custard mixture — egg, milk, vanilla and cream cheese — is poured over. If you're aiming for breakfast then you may want to reduce the sugar a little as this is on the sweet side. It will depend also on the fruits you use.  

Refrigerate overnight so the matzah can soak up all that yummy custard and the after 45 minutes in the oven, your breakfast kugel will smell dreamy. It has a rice pudding-y quality to it which has always been one of my comfort foods.
