PANETTONE FRENCH TOAST

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup water
1 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 tablespoons whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (1.1 pound; 500 gram) loaf panettone bread, baking paper removed
6 large eggs
3/4 cup whipping cream
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
Powdered sugar, for dusting

Steps:

  • To make the syrup: Combine 1 cup of water and brown sugar in a heavy medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Boil until the syrup reduces to 1 cup, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat and whisk in the cream and cinnamon. Keep the syrup warm. (The syrup can be made 1 day ahead. Cool, then cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)
  • Meanwhile, prepare the French toast: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Trim the bottom crust of the panettone. Starting at the bottom end of the panettone, cut it crosswise into 6 (3/4-inch thick) round slices (reserve the top piece for toast!). In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until well blended. Add the cream, milk, and sugar and whisk until well mixed. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter on a large nonstick griddle over medium heat. Dip 3 slices of panettone into the custard, turning to allow both sides to absorb the custard. Grill the soaked panettone slices until they are golden brown and firm to the touch, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the French toast to a baking sheet and keep them warm in the oven. Repeat with the remaining butter, panettone slices, and custard.
  • Transfer the French toast to plates. Dollop the mascarpone atop each. Lightly dust with the powdered sugar. Drizzle the cinnamon syrup over and around the French toast and serve immediately.

Time 28m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup water
1 packed cup brown sugar
2 tablespoons whipping cream
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (1-pound) panettone, paper removed
6 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided
1/2 cup mascarpone cheese
Serving suggestion: powdered sugar and assorted fresh berries.

Steps:

  • 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 1 cup, about 10 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).
  • For the French toast: Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F. Preheat a nonstick griddle or large nonstick saute pan over medium heat.
  • Using a serrated knife, remove the top from the panettone. Cut the bottom of the panettone in half crosswise. Cut each half into 4 equal 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. Transfer the French toast to a baking sheet and keep warm in the oven. Repeat with remaining 1 tablespoon butter and panettone slices.
  • 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.

PANETTONE FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE



Panettone French Toast Casserole image

This version of a very common American breakfast, made into a casserole, using an Italian sweet bread baked for the holidays, is definitely something to be happy about! Soak your casserole overnight to achieve best results.... you want the bread to be completely saturated in the custard so that it gets light and fluffy in the oven. Covering the casserole during the last bit of baking time ensures no overbrowning. Serve with warm maple syrup.

Time 9h20m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
½ cup packed light brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
8 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
2 cups heavy cream, divided
cooking spray
1 (26.5 ounce) loaf panettone
2 tablespoons salted butter, melted
1 tablespoon white sugar
1 (6 ounce) container fresh raspberries
½ cup toasted sliced almonds
1 tablespoon powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Place cream cheese and brown sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat at medium speed until smooth and creamy. Beat in vanilla and salt until well incorporated. Add eggs one at a time, beating until well blended. Gradually add milk and 1 cup cream, beating at low speed, until well incorporated.
  • Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray.
  • Cut panettone loaf into 1/2-inch-thick slices. Arrange slices in 2 or 3 rows, overlapping slightly, starting from a short end of the baking dish.
  • Pour cream cheese-egg mixture evenly over the panettone slices, gently shaking the baking dish to evenly distribute the liquid. Cover with aluminum foil and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Uncover the baking dish. Brush melted butter over the casserole; sprinkle with sugar.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes. Rotate the baking dish 180 degrees and continue baking until the custard is set in the center, about 30 minutes more. Cover with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking to prevent overbrowning, if necessary.
  • Meanwhile, beat remaining heavy cream and powdered sugar in a medium bowl using a hand mixer on high speed until semi-firm peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Serve casserole warm with whipped cream, raspberries, and almonds.

PANETTONE FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

Got leftover panettone? Lucky you! The traditional Italian Christmas bread makes an excellent base for a breakfast casserole. All it needs is a soak in spiced custard and a turn in the oven.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Breakfast & Brunch Recipes     Bread Recipes

Time 2h40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 pounds panettone, halved horizontally, then cut into 3/4-inch thick slices
8 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Confectioners' sugar and maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • Arrange bread in overlapping layers in a 2 1/2-to 3-quart baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until thoroughly combined. Pour egg mixture evenly over bread; press with palms to fully submerge. Cover and let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake until puffed, golden brown on top, and set, 45 to 50 minutes (if browning too quickly, tent with foil). Let stand 10 minutes, then serve, dusted with confectioners' sugar and drizzled with maple syrup.

Tips:

  • Select a high-quality panettone for your French toast. A fresh, artisanal panettone will yield the best results.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. Cook the slices in batches if necessary to ensure they cook evenly.
  • Use a gentle touch when flipping the French toast. A delicate flip will prevent the slices from breaking.
  • If you do not have rum on hand, you can substitute another type of liqueur, such as Grand Marnier or Cointreau.
  • If you want to make a vegan version of this dish, you can use a vegan panettone and a plant-based milk, such as almond milk or soy milk.

Conclusion:

Panettone French toast is a delicious and easy-to-make brunch or breakfast dish that is perfect for the holidays or any special occasion. With its sweet, eggy flavor and hints of rum and vanilla, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. Serve it with your favorite toppings, such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or maple syrup, and enjoy!
