Nothing beats fresh panettone, but in my family, we enjoy so much of it that we inevitably end up with extra. There are so many delicious ways to reuse it, even if it’s gotten a bit stale - make croutons, bake it into a bread pudding, or this very french toast recipe. I tailored this recipe to if I have half of a standard panettone left, about ½ pound, but if you’re lucky enough to have a whole panettone left, go ahead and double the recipe.

Ingredients

    For The Syrup:

  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 packed cup brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon whipping cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • For The French Toast:

  • ½ pound leftover panettone, paper removed
  • 3 large eggs
  • 6 tablespoons (or 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons) heavy whipping cream
  • 6 tablespoons (or 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons) whole milk
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, divided
  • 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese
  • Serving suggestion: powdered sugar and assorted fresh berries.

Instructions

  1. For the syrup: In a medium saucepan, bring the water and sugar to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Boil until the syrup reduces to ½ a cup, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and whisk in the cream and cinnamon. Keep the syrup warm over low heat until ready to serve. (The syrup can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Reheat before serving).
  2. Preheat a nonstick griddle or large nonstick saute pan over medium heat.
  3. Cut the panettone into 4 to 6 1-inch thick pieces. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, and sugar until smooth. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter on the griddle. Working in batches, dip slices of panettone into the custard, turning to allow both sides to absorb the custard. Cook the soaked panettone slices until golden brown and firm to the touch, about 4 minutes per side.
  4. Transfer the French toast to plates. Drizzle the cinnamon syrup over the French toast and place a dollop of mascarpone on top. Lightly dust with powdered sugar and serve with fresh berries, if desired.
