A very elegant, yet very easy way, to serve French Toast. The custard recipe scales well--especially into thirds. I found the Panettone (purchased a 26.5 oz cake from Trader Joe's) very soft and crumbly, so I cut each slice into fourths before dipping it into the custard--much easier to work with this way--it kept the bread from soaking up too much of the custard (which makes it fall apart) and eliminated the need to keep previously cooked slices warm in the oven, as the cooking time was reduced this way. The cinnamon syrup--which is also easy to make--makes this dish extra special, although the slices are good with regular syrup as well.
Not for the dieting!

Delicious. It's a little work but overall worth it. Don't let the bread sit to long in the custard. Big hit with brunch guests! I didn't serve the marscapone and didn't miss it at all!
Excellent!

This is a delicious and easy French toast which has become a Christmas brunch tradtion in our home. The Cinnamon Syrup is a bit too sweet with it so we don't use it; we generally just use real maple syrup which is rich enough by itself. I like the Perugina / Nestle brand panetonne, which has a nice orange hit and is easily found everywhere at Christmas time from drugstores to Sam's Club. Since it does have a slight orange flavor, we like to garnish the toast with a dab of orange marmalade and serve it with orange wedges and orange flavored Grand Marnier (or Cointreau) coffee. Could also make a simple orange syrup in place of the maple, or even thin out orange marmalade into a syrup. Delicious! Thanks, Giada, for all the great recipes!
Avoid Panetonni French Toast

User: Sandra from Mount Prospect, IL User Rating:
Panetonni is such a soft bread, it absorbs so much liquid, it is impossible to cook the egg thru without burnning the toast. The syrup is too sweet, and the small amouunt of sinnamon is overpowering. The mascarpone plays no role, adds nothing.
Excellent

To the person who said the toast burns on the outside before it cooks in the middle - TURN THE HEAT DOWN!!! This French Toast was LOVED by all my friends who ate it at our recent Christmas after-party breakfast. One of the guests is a French Toast fanatic, and his favorite had been a French Toast Casserole I'd made. He now has a new favorite - Giada's Panettone French Toast. Thank You for the magic. Now if I can just learn to make the Panettone, I'll really be set.

This recipe is awesome! Go to the trouble to purchase mascarpone cheese...it's more mild and sweet than philly cream cheese. Also take the time to make the syrup...it's worth every minute to prepare this recipe. I did find that after soaking the panettone slices, draining on a rack over a cookie sheet helps with more even cooking.

I absolutely LOVED this! It was so good I wanted to eat far more than I should. I added a little Amaretto extract (Almond extract is basically the same) to the marscapone and sugar with a little cool whip to lighten it up and it was amazing!. Warning, a little syrup goes a long way and only a quarter of the toast is good for one person especially if you plan on adding something on the side like bacon.

It looked so good when Giada made it, that we just (my husband and I) couldn't wait to try it. I buy a Panettone every week, I love it with my coffee, so we had all of the ingrediants and the two of us made it a joint effort and it was so worth it. I'm going to north Jersey this holiday and I visit with my mom. Well the two of us get together and we kind of have cook offs. We find receipes and just cook- we used to make them for my father but he passed away last year. My parents were married 65 years. They were sole mates, always together, holding hands when they walked. She treated him like a king and of course he recipicated. He'd love it when I can for a visit, he knew he was going to get . A lot of Giada's meals are very much the way my mother cooks. She Sicillian, my father was from Bari, there's a great difference in everything. But my husband and I enjoy your show Giada, we watch it together every night and I've tried quite a few of your recipes and have really enjoyed them. I'm becomming a much better cook because of Giada. She's rated a 10 for sure.

User: Rob from Raleigh, NC User Rating:
When I saw Giada make this on TV, I knew I had seen the French Toast recipe I was waiting for. I'm diabetic and didn't make the syrup because there's already enough sugar to go around. I did add some dissolved Splenda to the marscapone and used some Cary's syrup. It was delicious. My guests used maple regular maple syrup on one slice. Later, they split the last slice with no syrup and were just as happy. Since marscapone is expensive and elusive, next time I'm going to mix a little milk or cream into cream cheese. I think the flavor would be about the same at a much lower cost. Here are some substitutes I just found, one of which is cream cheese and cream: http://www.heavenlytiramisu.com/mascarpo.htm I bought another Panettone for my dad since he's a big French Toast fan and claims the best he's had was in Costa Rica, followed by that at Tavern on the Green in Central Park. A 1 lb panettone at Whole Foods under their Whole Treat label, imported from Italy, was $5.49. A 2 lb loaf was $8.99. I bought it Nov 26 and it has a best before date of June 2006. I don't know that it's necessary to freeze it, even. Thanks Giada!!

This was by far the best French Toast that I have ever fixed in my life, the beauty of this recipe is that it does freeze well if you place the cooked toast on a cookie sheet and freeze for about an hour, then wrap each piece in plastic wrap and put in freezer ziploc. Pull out as needed. Heat in the oven and it is just as moist on the inside and crisp on the outside as it was originally. Thanks so much Giada, my husband thinks you cook especially for us.

Panettone - Not Easy to Find

User: Anonymous User Rating:
Easy recipe but was unable to find Panettone at any local markets. So, here is a recipe I found at http://www.cooksrecipes.com/bread/panettone_recipe.html I suppose you could substitite with raisen bread but it misses the mark with the anise and almond extracts as well as the candied citron. 1/2 cup raisins 5 tablespoons rum 1 (1/4-ounce) package active dry yeast or 2 1/2 teaspoons 1 cup warm water 3 cups all-purpose flour 1/2 teaspoon salt 5 tablespoons granulated sugar 3 tablespoons powdered milk 5 tablespoons butter, softened 1 large egg 1/2 teaspoon anise extract 1/2 teaspoon almond extract 3 tablespoons chopped candied citron 2 tablespoons pine nuts 1. Dissolve yeast in warm water. 2. In a bowl, combine flour, salt, sugar, powdered milk, softened butter, egg, anise and almond extracts. Stir in the yeast mixture and knead to form a soft dough. Add the drained raisins, chopped dried mixed fruit, and pine nuts. Place in a greased bowl, turning once to coat, cover, and allow to rise until doubled; about 1 1/2 hours. 3. Punch down; form in a greased loaf pan*, and allow to rise again; about 1 hour. 4. Bake at 350*F for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the top is browned.

Excellent recipe. It's the best french toast I've ever had! This has replaced homemade cinnamon rolls for Christmas morning.

This recipe is wonderful! The panettone can get fragile when it's dipped in the batter, so make sure the slices are thick enough to support the moisture. Great recipe for a special breakfast...just decadent and scrumptious!!!

Delicious, rich. As in the program, you'll have to lift bread pieces from batter w/your hands; a fork will tear the bread.

My husband was a chef for years and I made this for him for Christmas Eve morning. He loved it (I did too). It was easy for me to make and delicious. This is now going to be our Christmas Eve breakfast tradition.
Awesome

So easy to make, tasted fantastic, the marscapone cheese was a great touch. It balanced out the sweetness of the syrup. would make again.
Too Sweet and Rich

We had this over the holidays when we bought some panettone after seeing Giada make this. We were skeptical since we had never had panettone but it was amazing. We ONLY made the toast, did not make the syrup or put the marscarpone on it. That said, I thought the bread it was sweet enough that I just buttered it and dusted lightly with the powdered sugar. I wanted to make this again for a brunch but couldn't find panettone in any of my local grocery or fine markets. I guess it is harder to fine after the season has past.
WOW!

I didn't think panettone could get any better. I made this at Christmas time and I just opened my last loaf of the season this morning. This is by far the best french toast I ever had. Even better than french toast with challah. Giada scores again!
Fabulous Holiday Treat

WE JUST STARTING MAKING THIS RECIPE THIS CHRISTMAS, AND I HAD TO GO OUT AND BUY MORE PANETTONE, BEFORE IT WAS GONE FOR THE CHRISTMAS HOLIDAYS. ITS EXCELLENT. WHAT A NICE CHANGE FROM THE BORING OLD FRENCH TOAST. I ALSO, SERVE IT WITH A FLAVORED CREAM CHEESE ON THE SIDE. THANKS GIADA, FOR ANOTHER GREAT RECIPE...
Amazing

I love this recipe. I used the panettone with raisins and chocolate chips. It was sooooo good with the brown sugar cinnamon syrup. I had a little problem cutting up the cake without it breaking into small pieces. I didn't mind though, I just fried those up too. I will definitely special order some panettone for Valentine's Day breakfast since I can only find it at Christmas. :(

i usually like giada's recipies despite the fat content, but this one isn't worth the calories! i could imagine serving this for desert, but at 10 in the morning it's enough to make your stomach upset. i even omitted the cheese and the syrup and served it with fresh peaches instead. unfortunately, it was still much too sweet for my family's taste. uck.
The Best

I had to make this just using cinnamon bread and it was delicious but I'm sure would be better with Panettone. Any advise on where to find Panettone in the Nashville, TN area?
Delicious but rich!

We loved this! I served it with real whipped cream on top instead of mascarpone. Really good and really filling.

I loved this french toast. Very light and not sickening sweet. My grocery store carried the panettone, but I had already ordered it from the breadsmith. So glad I paid the extra money. My grocery store's looked like raisin bread!! Even received a compliment from my brother, which is rare. Will be a staple for Christmas morning.

Fabulous hit with family Christmas morning. I made it with Pandoro instead since I prefer it over Panettone. Huge hit!
