Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- 150ml whole milk
- 1 tsp mixed spice
- 2 tbsp double cream
- 3 tbsp brandy
- 40g unsalted butter
- 4 tbsp mixed dried fruit
- 4 slices panettone (around 320g), cut in half to make 8
- 60g crème fraîche, to serve
- maple syrup, to serve (optional)
- 2 tsp icing sugar, to serve
Method
- STEP 1
Tip the eggs, milk, mixed spice, double cream and 1 tbsp brandy into a jug and beat to combine, then pour the mixture into a large, shallow dish.
- STEP 2
Pour the remaining brandy into a cold frying pan along with 15g butter and the mixed fruit. Warm over a low heat for 3-4 mins until the butter has melted and the liquid has thickened slightly. Pour the fruit mixture into a small heatproof bowl and set aside.
- STEP 3
Lay the panettone slices in the egg mixture and flip over to soak. Do this quickly so it doesn’t break apart. Set aside on a plate.
- STEP 4
Melt the remaining butter over a medium-low heat in the frying pan you used earlier, and fry the panettone slices for 3-4 mins on each side until golden and cooked through. It’s easier to do this over a lower heat so the outside doesn’t burn before the centre cooks.
- STEP 5
Divide the slices between four plates, then top with the crème fraîche, mixed fruit, a little maple syrup (if using) and a dusting of icing sugar.
