Eggnog Panettone French Toast: A Decadent New Year’s Brunch
By this point in the holiday season, the bountiful feast meals are behind us. And what remains is a varied selection of leftovers, both sweet and savoury. I’ve been inspired to create a new recipe from a couple of these Christmas classics: eggnog and panettone. And so, I introduce to you (drum roll please) Eggnog Panettone French Toast. My first source of inspiration for this recipe is beloved French chef Jacques Pépin, who uses ice cream to make his pain perdue – French toast, due to its high egg content.

As we approach the end of another year, I am reminded of a goal that I set for myself around this time last year. The idea had been percolating in my mind for a while. So at Christmas I shared it with my niece Julia. I told her then of my desire to further develop my brand through the creation of an online store. One that would offer home and living accessories with that touch of ‘je ne sais quoi’. I’ve spent the past few months working on it and today I am thrilled to announce its launch to you! So, without further ado, please say ‘bonjour‘ to Boutique L’Abeille…
