Panettone French Toast

Panettone French Toast
Panettone, an Italian fruit bread traditionally served for Christmas and New Year's, makes a delicious and filling French Toast. And when sliced the wrong way, its presentation is perfect for a family breakfast, or brunch during the holidays. If you're lucky enough to get your hands on a loaf of Panettone all year-round, it makes a really good breakfast anytime, but is an especially nice treat for the holidays.

Panettone French Toast can be served a multitude of ways. You can serve it simply with butter and maple syrup, spread with your favorite jam, topped with mixed berried and whipped cream, or with sauteed apples and vanilla yogurt, as I've detailed in this Instructable. Whichever way you choose to present your Panettone French Toast, I hope you enjoy it.

Happy Holidays!

Step 1Prepare custard mixture

Prepare custard mixture
This recipe is extremely customizable to the number of people you need to serve. Per slice of Panettone French Toast, you will need:

 - 1 egg
 - 1/4 c. milk
 - 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
 - 1 tsp. sugar
 - 1 slice of Panettone(see next step)

In a pie pan, whisk together the egg, milk, cinnamon and sugar for one slice of french toast. It is very important to only mix the custard 1 slice at a time. Panettone is extremely absorbent, and will suck up ALL of the custard if you mix the entire batch at once. It is a little time-consuming, but totally worth it when you taste the end results.

I've tried it today and it was acceptable (mistakes due to my faults!), but I'm not sure how to declare the apple cooked enough.

I'm italian and I prefer PANDORO to Panettone. Pandoro have much butter (over 30%), no candieds and less sugar. I think that could taste better, especially whit kiwi, oranges or lemmons (and peanuts butter?)... ;)
BTW, here in Italy, Pandoro & Panettone can be found at special low price after jannuary few days, and have more than a year before they expires. So we use to gather some pieces and eat it every day for months. ;)
