Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined and frothy.
- Take each slice of panettone and dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are thoroughly coated. Allow the excess mixture to drip off.
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat until it begins to foam but not brown.
- Carefully place the soaked panettone slices into the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a plate. Serve warm, topped with a generous drizzle of maple syrup and a light dusting of powdered sugar.
Tips
- For added flavor, try mixing in some nutmeg with the cinnamon or adding a splash of orange zest to the egg mixture.
- To make this dish even more decadent, serve with whipped cream or fresh berries.
- You can also bake the French toast in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes after cooking for extra warmth.
