Panettone French Toast

Every year we order Panettone at Xmas time. We often have more than we can eat. We found a recipe for Panettone  French Toast. Never would have thought to make it with Panettone. It is super rich and good. Making Panettone French Toast is from now on a Holiday Tradition in our house!

2       large eggs

6       tablespoons whole milk

¼      teaspoon vanilla extract

1/8    teaspoon ground cinnamon

pinch salt

4       slices panettone, about 1 1/4-inch (4cm) thick)

butter, for frying the French toast

 

1.    In a wide, shallow bowl, beat the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt together with a fork until well-combined. Place the slices of bread in the custard and gently press them down to help the bread absorb the custard, then turn them over the do the same to the other side of the bread. 

2.     Heat a good-sized pat of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the custard-soaked slices of bread to the pan and cook until they're browned on the bottom, about a minute. Turn the slices of bread over and fry on the other side until browned on the bottom.
