By swapping traditional bread for rich, fluffy panettone, you get a decadent twist that’s perfect for cozy weekends, holiday brunches, or whenever you want to treat yourself to something truly special.
Soaked in a creamy vanilla custard and cooked to golden perfection, each slice becomes irresistibly soft on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside.

Doses for : 2 people
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 8–10 minutes
3 oz heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla syrup
1 whole egg ( mix well)
8 oz panettone sliced
4 oz butter
whipped cream
powder sugar
berries
1. In a bowl, whisk together the 3 oz heavy cream, 1 teaspoon vanilla syrup, and 1 whole egg until fully combined and smooth.
2. Slice the 8 oz panettone into thick, even slices to ensure they hold up during cooking.
3. Submerge each panettone slice into the custard mixture.
4. Allow each side to soak for a few seconds so the bread absorbs the custard without becoming soggy.
5. In a skillet over medium heat, melt 4 oz butter
6. Once the butter is bubbling (but not burning), it’s ready for the panettone.
7. Place the soaked panettone slices into the skillet.
8. Cook until golden brown on each side, about 2–3 minutes per side, adjusting heat as needed so the butter doesn't burn.
9. Serve warm, topped with whipped cream, a dusting of powdered sugar, and fresh berries.
