This is a yummy twist on french toast... I found the recipe on a website, and it's really delicious!
Panettone french toast with berries and cream
3 eggs
1/3 cup (80ml) thin cream
1/3 cup (80ml) milk
2 tbs caster sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
Two 1.5cm-thick slices of panettone (sliced to whatever size you like)
250g frozen mixed berries, thawed
2 tbs icing sugar (with some extra for dusting)
40g unsalted butter
Thick cream or yoghurt (to serve with)
In a wide bowl, beat eggs, cream, milk, sugar and vanilla. Add the panettone, turn to coat and leave to soak for 10 minutes, pressing down from time to time to ensure it soaks up the batter.
Meanwhile, place half the berries in a blender with icing sugar and 1 tablespoon water. Blend until smooth. Combine with remaining berries and set aside.
Heat half the butter in a non-stick frypan over medium heat. Drain excess egg mixture from half the panettone slices and cook for 1-2 minutes each side until golden. Keep warm while you repeat with remaining butter and panettone.
To serve, place two slices on each plate, dust with icing sugar, and top with berry compote and a dollop of cream.
