PANETTONE FRENCH TOAST

This is a great breakfast for Christmas morning. I always buy panettone at Christmastime, and this is one of my favourite recipes to make with it.
This lovely cake like bread easily absorbs the custard and with a drizzle of honey you have a classic breakfast dish done with a twist.
