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

Directions

Step 1

Slice the panettone into thick slices, approximately 1 inch thick. Set aside.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and granulated sugar until well combined.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

Dip one slice of panettone into the egg mixture, letting it soak for about 15-20 seconds per side. Shake off any excess batter.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Remove the finished slices from the skillet and keep warm while you cook the remaining panettone slices, adding more butter as needed.

Step 7

Serve the Panettone French Toast warm. Drizzle with maple syrup, dust with powdered sugar, and top with fresh berries if desired.
