Ingredients
1 1/4 pounds panettone, halved horizontally, then cut into 3/4-inch thick slices
8 large eggs
2 cups whole milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
Confectioners’ sugar and maple syrup, for serving
Preparation
Arrange bread in overlapping layers in a 2 1/2-to 3-quart baking dish. In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, salt, cinnamon, and nutmeg until thoroughly combined. Pour egg mixture evenly over bread; press with palms to fully submerge. Cover and let stand at room temperature 1 hour.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bake until puffed, golden brown on top, and set, 45 to 50 minutes (if browning too quickly, tent with foil). Let stand 10 minutes, then serve, dusted with confectioners’ sugar and drizzled with maple syrup.
