My family looks forward every year to Panettone season so I can start to make this recipe. It is so popular in my home that now I print it on nicer paper and share it as part of a Panettone and Proseco hostess gift when we visit friends during the holiday. It already one month after Christmas and I am still making it.

Easy to make, looks beautiful and tastes even better. Thanks Giada on behalf of myself, family and friends!

I made this for Christmas Day breakfast and it was wonderful! What a great way to use Panettone. I had never bought this bread before and was reluctant since I didn't know how to use it. The bread by itself is good toasted as well. Tonight I'm going to make Giada's bread pudding with the rest of the loaf! The only thing about this recipe that I would change is putting less cinnamon in the syrup. I don't think the cinnamon is necessary but that's a personal opinion. I think it would be better to sprinkle the cinnamon on the French toast.

It was a nice change having french toast made with panettone. Since it is extremely fatterning I made some lighter substitions that I could live with, lol Ok, I used 1% milk and added 1/3 cup of half and half to it. Next, I didn't use the mascaropone at all so that helped. I think for a syrup next time I'll probably puree some berries and heat them up on a saucepan with a bit of sugar and use that as a syrup. Overall it was delicious and tasted like bread pudding but my guests complained it was way too sweet for them. I quite liked it and I know that children would LOVE it!

OMG....just made this for my husband and me hoping for a yummy New Year's brunch and it exceeded our expectations....wow! I followed the recipe exactly and made the syrup; they were perfect together. I served it with Ina's Maple Raosted Bacon and fresh pinapple chunks and pomegranate seeds (both fruits had been serving as part of a holiday centerpiece!and the whole meal was delicious and well balanced. My hubby, who professionally appraises some of the finest inns exclaimed that no four star inn was serving a brunch as good as ours! Try this....it is a keeper.

French toast part of this recipe was good, but didn't feel good about using 6 eggs so I used two eggs and 4 egg whites. Although it was good, using whole milk and heavy cream was far from heatlhy, next time I will skip the heavy cream and use skim milk with whole milk.

I made this for the first time this morning. I did not make the syrup since I had some nice maple syrup to use, so I put some ground cinnamon in the egg mixture. I made a side of bacon to go with this and everyone loved it. I think this will be a new holiday tradition. :-

Like other reviewers, this has become our Christmas morning tradition for at least the past 3 years! Since my parents live in Vermont we use real VT maple syrup instead of the cinnamon syrup (how could we not? But I also add a bit of ground cinnamon to the egg mixture, too. This cooks up beautifully on an electric griddle, so if you have one, make sure to use it for this. Thick-cut bacon is a great savory acoompaniment and really makes it a special-occasion meal. NB: for anyone who thinks panettone is hard to find, it's really not. They sell it at Costco as well as tons of grocery stores. It almost always comes in a box and is imported from Italy.

Delicious! Almost didn't make the syrup because i didn't want to bother with it, but so glad i did because it was delicious and super easy. Just make sure you do a quick dip in the egg mixture because the bread absorbs it very quickly and will begin to fall apart or it could turn out too gooey in the middle. After a few tries i got the technique down, though...
