Ingredients
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 teaspoon orange zest
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2½ cups whole milk
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 6 eggs
  • 4 tablespoons butter, divided
  • One 2-pound loaf panettone, halved lengthwise and cut into 1-inch-thick slices
  • Chopped pecans, for garnish
  • Maple syrup, for serving
Directions
  1. Make the orange cream: In a medium bowl, whisk together the orange cream ingredients to stiff peaks. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
  2. Make the French toast: In a large bowl, whisk together the milk, sugar, salt, vanilla, cinnamon and eggs until smooth.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dip 4 pieces of the panettone into the batter and place in the pan. Cook, flipping once, until golden brown, 2 minutes per side. Transfer the French toast to a platter and repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
  4. Spoon the orange cream over the French toast, then garnish with pecans and serve with maple syrup.
