Gluten-Free Panettone French Toast
Whole Foods carries gluten-free Panettone (a traditional Italian holiday dessert) this time of year and they sell out really fast so I grabbed a couple when I was shopping for work on Monday.
We ate some for dessert that night and the next day, I thought, "French toast would be good with that Panettone!" so we tried it and it came out delicious!
This would be amazing with a mascarpone whipped cream, but I didn't have any ingredients for that, so I used the last 1/4 of a container of cottage cheese I had to whip up a little Sweet Cottage Cream instead!
It came out great. I loved the contrast of the salty cheese sauce with the sweet maple syrup and the citrusy bite of the cranberries and dried oranges in the bread.
This would be a great addition to your holiday table this year. If you want to try to make it even easier on yourself, meal prep an oven-baked version with cubes of Panettone soaked in the egg mixture and then baked in a casserole dish instead!
A much easier way to feed a crowd!
NOTE: If you don't love the taste of orange/citrus in desserts, you will not enjoy this recipe. Make it with regular gluten-free bread instead. I like Canyon Bakehouse's Sweet Hawaiian Bread.
