Breakfast

Festive French Toast – Panettone Pain Perdu

January 1, 2020 by Christian Gott Leave a Comment

Panettone French Toast

Festive French toast is a great way to use up Panettone, the classic Italian cake / bread from Milan. We always seem to have some left over Panettone after Christmas. We overdose on cake and biscuits, pretty much like everyone else. So my recipe today is a direct result of my last post and the feedback I got from friends on social media. One of the joys for me of food writing for me is the community of amazing people I’ve met and after my French Toast recipe I had a conversation with the talented Bryony Hill. Bryony, a painter, gardener, author and cookery writer was thinking of a Christmas eggy bread. The result of our conversation Panettone pain perdu.

How to make French Toast

Pain Perdu 2

French toast is a perfect holiday season treat served for breakfast with berries and maple syrup. French toast or pain perdu is a simple, delicious dessert or breakfast dish made by frying slices of bread soaked in egg and milk. The dish dates back as far as the Romans and Apicius gives a recipe finished with honey.

Did you know that there are over one and a half million pictures of avocado on toast on Instagram? The dish really exploded in popularity in the 1990’s and it has been suggested that it has caused a massive spike in the cost of avocados.
