PANETTONE FRENCH TOAST RECIPE
Ingredients:
4-6 thick slices of panettone (about 1.5 inches thick)
3 large eggs
½ cup milk or 1/2 & 1/2
1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
Pinch of salt
2 tbsp butter for cooking
Powdered sugar, and maple syrup, for serving
Instructions:
In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tbsp butter.
Dip each panettone slice into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 10-15 seconds per side (panettone is delicate, so don’t oversoak!).
Place soaked slices in the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and slightly crispy on the edges.
Serve immediately with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of warm maple syrup, and fresh berries.
Pro tip: Slightly stale panettone actually works BETTER for this recipe—it holds up beautifully without getting soggy!
