SAN DIEGO — People always ask does my wife Molly cook, and the answer is yes. Her French Toast is one of my favorites and with the Panettone (Italian sweet bread), it's even better.
Molly's Italian French Toast
- 1 Panettone
- 4 eggs
- ½ cup Half & Half
- 1 tbsp. Brown sugar
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- ¼ tsp of Vanilla
- pinch Kosher salt
- ½ stick of Butter
- 2 tbsp. Canola oil
- Fresh fruit
- Maple syrup
Cut the Panettone into bread-size slices. Whip eggs, Half & Half, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla.
Heat skillet to medium heat, melt 1 tbsp. of butter and combine with oil, use to season skillet.
Dip sliced Panettone in egg batter long enough to coat both sides, place in the skillet and cook for 3 - 4 min per side until golden brown. Top with butter, fruit and syrup.
