I am particularly excited for Christmas morning this year now that Sofia is two years old and will be able to fully appreciate the surprise of seeing wrapped gifts appear under the tree. We are also starting our own family holiday traditions this year. One Italian tradition that I can't wait to share with my family is Panettone, an Italian sweet bread that is served during Christmas and New Year. You can make it from scratch or buy it at specialty markets like Whole Foods, Tonys Market, and Sunflower. My favorite comes from Williams-Sonoma. You can eat it simply toasted with a little butter but I love making it to French toast. This is a recipe I found many years ago and after the first bite I never had to try another!
Panettone French Toast w/ Coconut Milk
Ingredients:
1/2 vanilla bean
2/3 cup coconut milk
2 eggs, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
4 tablespoons butter

Directions:
Split the vanilla bean in half lengthwise and scrape out the seeds. Put the coconut milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla seeds, and cardamom in a bowl and beat well. Pour the mixture in a shallow dish.
Heat half the butter in a large skillet. Dip 2 slices of Panettone into the egg mixture and saute until golden on both sides. Repeat with the remaining slices and serve dusted with confectioners' sugar.
To Serve:
