- Easy
- Serves 2
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 250ml milk
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- 3 clementines, 1 zested, 2 peeled and sliced horizontally
- 4 toast-sized slices panettone, about 2cm thick
- 50g flaked almonds
- knob of butter
- drizzle of flavourless oil, such as sunflower or vegetable
- 50g pomegranate seeds
- maple syrup and Greek yogurt, to serve (optional)
Method
- STEP 1
In a wide, shallow bowl, whisk the eggs, milk, cinnamon and clementine zest. Add the sliced panettone to the mixture and leave to soak for 5 mins, turning occasionally until all the liquid has been absorbed (alternatively you can wrap the bowl in cling film and chill overnight.)
- STEP 2
Scatter the almonds over a plate and carefully dunk in the soaked panettone, pressing to help the almond flakes stick, then turn and stick more to the other side. Heat the butter and oil in a large frying pan (you may need to use two pans if the pieces are quite large.)
- STEP 3
When the butter is bubbling, add the panettone and cook over a medium heat for 3-4 mins each side until golden. Serve with pomegranate seeds, clementine slices, and maple syrup and yogurt, if you like.
