from NY, US

1 loaf Panettone (store bought)
4 to 6 eggs
1 cup cream
1 heaping Tbsp . sugar
2 tsp vanilla or almond extract
butter to fry
Powdered sugar for garnish
Flavored syrups and butter

Panettone or Italian fruitcake/ bread, usually is most available around
Christmas time . Panettone most often contains candied fruits and citron,
raisins etc in a sweet dough. Having leftover Panettone, I decided to
make French toast for week end company. It was a great hit. This was
served with grilled sausages, fresh fruit salad and a variety of syrups (
blueberry, maple, etc ) , and whipped butter. Probably great for a
Chanukah or Christmas breakfast ! Try to use day old or drier left over
Panettone. If the Panettone is too soft, the French toast may come out
soggy. Combine eggs , cream, sugar and extract and whisk well. Cut the
bread into vertical thick slices. If bread is too tall, then cut each
slice in half. Dip into egg mixture to coat both sides, Fry in butter
until golden. Dust with powdered sugar. Serve with flavored syrups, sliced
berries or fresh or stewed fruit. Yield. depends on how may slices you
fry . Normally , only part of the loaf is used.

P.S. I found another use for the Panettone: makes a great turkey sandwich.
Just use sliced turkey
and jelled cranberry sauce between the Panettone slices!
