We've combined buttery panettone with French toast to create an indulgent start to your day.
The light Italian cake - rich with dried fruit - soaks in a spiced-egg mixture before frying for a golden, caramelised crust. Serve with plenty of honey.
Why Panettone Works for French Toast
Panettone’s soft, enriched crumb soaks up custard beautifully, while its citrus peel and raisins bring bursts of flavour. Using it instead of brioche or sourdough gives French toast a festive Italian twist that feels extra special.
