One of my all time favorite celebrity chefs is Giada De Laurentiis.  LOVE her!!!! This awesome recipe is inspired by her recipe and is one that I have adopted into my Christmas traditions.  Unfortunately I never have all of her awesome ingredients on hand so the below is my dumbed down version with a twist (Spoiler Alert: it’s Almond Extract)  🙂

What You Will Need:
1 Large Panettone
6 Eggs
3/4 Cup Whole Milk
1/4 Cup Sugar
1 Tsp Almond Extract
2 Tbsp Butter, Divided

First off cut off the top and bottom of Panettone, so you are just left with the midsection. Cut into 4 equal pieces.  In a flat bowl, I used a glass baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and sugar, almond extract until smooth.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a Pan or Griddle. Dip slices of panettone into the egg mixture, flipping to coat both sides. Place on the pan and cook until each side is nice and golden brown.

Serve and Enjoy!!! xoxoxox
