Panettone Family Breakfast Stack

Serves 2-4

This is an excellent way to use up any leftover panettone. For my family breakfast stack I used a quarter of a 700g panettone that needed using up. Obviously you can increase (or decrease!) these quantities. We had this between four of us – each having a thick slice. Bigger appetites may manage two (or more!) slices. We served ours with maple syrup but you could bulk it up with fresh berries and Greek yogurt.

Ingredients:

1/4 wedge of a large panettone cut from base to top into four even slices.

2 large eggs

Splash of milk

Zest of one orange (optional)

Nob of butter

Vegetable oil

Topping ideas:

Maple syrup (optional)

Fresh berries (optional)

Greek yogurt (optional)

Chocolate sauce (optional)

Step 1: Beat together the eggs, a decent splash of milk and the zest of an orange in a wide dish. It needs to be wide enough to hold the panettone slices without damaging them. You can do these one or two at a time. Nestle them in the dish and allow them to soak up the eggy mixture for a minute until careful turning over for another 30 seconds or so.

Step 2: Heat a non stick pan over a medium high heat with a small amount of vegetable oil and the nob of butter. Once the butter is melted and bubbling it’s ready for the panettone.

Step 3: Add the slices of panettone not crowding them and allow them to cook, lowering the heat as necessary. Cook each side for a few minutes until golden and slightly crispy.

Step 4: Stack the cooked panettone on a serving plate and either dress with your choice of toppings and give everyone a plate and let them dig in, or divide between plates and top as desired before devouring. Enjoy!
