Panettone French Toast

If you're looking for new ways to serve your panettone this Christmas, try our recipe for delicious french toast.

What you'll need:

• 6 eggs
• 500ml milk
• 1/4 whole nutmeg, finely grated
• 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 panettone loaf thickly sliced
• 60g butter
• 1 tbs extra virgin olive oil
• Creme fraiche, dash of maple syrup, icing sugar and fresh fruit and nuts, to serve (can also be served with crispy bacon)

How to make it: 

1.   Crack the eggs, and add the milk, nutmeg, cinnamon and a pinch of salt in a large shallow dish and whisk to combine.

2.  Add the panettone slices in a single layer and turn to coat it in the mixture.  Leave it to soak for a couple of minutes.

3. Melt half the butter and half the oil in a large non-stick frypan over medium-high heat. Place a couple of slices of panettone in the pan and cook for 2 minutes each side or until golden. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Repeat with the remaining butter, oil and panettone.

4. Once done, dust with icing sugar and serve with a drizzle of maple syrup and a spoon of creme fraiche. Add fresh fruit, nuts or crispy bacon.
