Ingredients

  • ¾ medium chocolate chip panettone sliced (approx. 8 cups)
  • 5 eggs
  • 1 ½ cup milk
  • ¼ cup turbinado sugar for topping

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350F.
  • Slice your panettone in thick slices, and lay them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 8-10 minutes, then flip and bake for about 10 minutes longer. You want the panettone to be dry to the touch and lightly toasted.
  • Remove pan from oven and set aside.
  • Lightly butter a 9x13 baking pan, and arrange the panettone slices inside.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well-combined. Pour on top of the panettone slices.
  • Sprinkle the turbinado sugar on top. If you have the time, let the slices soak in the mixture for at least 30-45 minutes (you can even do overnight!). If not, go straight to baking.
  • Bake at 350F for 40-45 minutes, until the eggs are cooked through and casserole has solidified.
  • Serve immediately with maple syrup!
