Panettone French Toast Pudding
by Diane Balch
Serves: 4 to 6
Ingredients:
6 slices of Panettone or Fruit Cake
6 eggs beaten with a pinch of salt
1 cup of sugar
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
2 cups of whole milk
Directions:
1) Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Toast bread either under a broiler or in a toaster. Slice diagonally. Set aside.
2) Beat eggs then add salt, sugar, vanilla and milk and beat until smooth.
3) Lay slices in a 9 by 13 inch baking dish. Pour mixture over the toast and let it sit for at least 10 minutes. Press bread into the mixture to help it soak it up.
4) Bake for 50 minutes or until custard is firm. Let cool. Serve slightly warm or cold. Top it with ice cream or whipped cream for a dessert.
