Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 slices (thick-cut) panettone
- 3 pieces large eggs
- 0.75 cups whole milk
- 0.25 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.5 cups (for serving) maple syrup
- 2 tablespoons (for garnish) powdered sugar
- 1 cup (optional, for serving) fresh berries
Instructions
Slice the panettone into thick slices, approximately 1 inch thick. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and granulated sugar until well combined.
Preheat a large non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of butter and allow it to melt and coat the surface.
Dip one slice of panettone into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 15-20 seconds per side. Shake off any excess batter.
Place the soaked slice of panettone onto the preheated skillet. Repeat with additional slices, but avoid overcrowding the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Remove the finished slices from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining panettone slices, adding more butter as needed.
Serve the Panettone French Toast warm. Drizzle with maple syrup, dust with powdered sugar, and top with fresh berries if desired.
