Got some leftover panettone from the holidays? Don’t let it go to waste!
Turn that festive bread into a culinary adventure with these fun and easy recipes. Whether you’re craving something sweet or savory, for breakfast or dinner, we’ve got you covered.
Here’s an idea for an excellent holiday brunch. A deluxe version of traditional French toast with Stefano panettone that’s cut into thick slices and dipped in a mixture of eggs, milk, cinnamon, and vanilla. Different flavours of panettone can be used, such as lemon, chocolate or traditional. It’s love at first bite!
The holidays are over and you still have some panettone left? Why not make bread pudding out of it? If your panettone is dry, even better! If not, you can put it in the oven for a few minutes to dry it out. Not enough left? No problem: add day-old croissants. Traditional or chocolate panettone can be used as well.
We’ve all been there: a few days after the holidays, there’s still some panettone left and you’d like to eat light… we turn to Tuscany for the solution! Grilled panettone replaces the classic croutons and adds a touch of sweetness to this panzanella salad!
Italian sausage and panettone stuffing
Stuffing always has its place during holiday meals! Here, we add an Italian twist by replacing the bread with panettone for a hint of sweetness and by adding Italian sausage with fennel. It’s easy to make, reheats well the next day, and goes brilliantly with green vegetables.
