Servings: 10 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon butter melted
- 1 panettone cut into cubes
- 3 cups whole or reduced fat milk
- 3 whole eggs
- 1 egg yolk
- 1/3 cup brown sugar
- 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1-2 teaspoons fresh orange zest
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Brush the bottom and sides of a 13x9 inch baking dish with melted butter. Then place panettone cubes into buttered dish.
- Mix remaining ingredients into a large mixing bowl and whisk together until combined.
- Pour mixture on top of panettone cubes and make sure all of the cubes are completely covered. Gently press the panettone down with a spatula to get covered in the mixture if needed.
- Cover baking dish with foil or plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to sit for 1 hour to overnight. This will allow the mixture to absorb into the bread pieces.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F and cover baking dish with foil. Bake for 20 minutes, then remove foil and bake for 25 more minutes. Let bread pudding cool and then top with a light icing of your choice, powdered sugar, or fresh berries if desired. Enjoy!
