Easy Panettone French Toast Casserole. It’s almost Christmas and what better way to start off the day than with a Delicious Panettone Breakfast Casserole.
Panettone whether homemade or store bought is definitely a must at Christmas time in Italy.
I have been seeing Panettone in the grocery stores, the bakeries and even the Coffee bars since early October.
I was never much of a lover of the Italian Sweet Bread I always preferred Pandoro which has more of a soft and tender cake.

But after Making My Own and finally discovering candied fruit free Panettone I was converted. I have to admit though Pandoro makes the best Tiramisu
Ever since I made my Italian Easter Bread Breakfast Casserole my daughter has been bugging me to take it more often. So I decided why not try it with Panettone? This time I knew adding some Maple syrup right in the mix would be perfect.
I bought our first Panettone of the Season and seeing that there was half left over I thought it would be the perfect amount for this casserole.
Enough for a family of four. And yes this year we will be celebrating all together. Best Christmas present ever!
