This is called “Holiday” French Toast because it uses eggnog in the batter and the Italian soft-sweet bread called Panettone. Like eggnog, Panettone is readily available around Christmas time. It’s round, soft, and rather large than a typical bread loaf. To me this is really “a thick slice of heaven” when used for breakfast style French toast!

Steps

1

Heat a very large pan over medium heat. Add in the oil (or use leftover bacon grease).
2

Beat the egg in a large wide bowl. [If making more than one serving, add another egg]
3

Mix in the eggnog and the spices and whisk this a few times.
4

Slice a 1” thick piece of Panettone bread. If desired, you can slice this in half (from top to bottom) to make two slices of bread.
5

Dip the bread into the egg batter, let it soak for 2-3 seconds, and then flip the bread over to coat the other side.
6

Quickly add the coated slice of bread to the heated pan and fry for 2-3 minutes per side. Check for a nice even brown color before flipping it over. [Add oil if needed when doing side two]
7

Plate the toast and top with crushed walnuts and syrup. Garnish with orange slices and enjoy.
