Panettone French Toast

Ingredients

• 2 cups egg nog (you can also use heavy cream)
• 1 cup liquid eggs, or 5 eggs beaten
• 2 Tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 loaf Panettone bread, sliced about an inch thick. (I cut my loaf in half from the top down, and cut half moon slices from there)

For the whipped mascarpone: 

• 1 cup cold heavy cream 
• 1/2 cup cold mascarpone 
• 3 Tbsp granulated sugar 

Directions

1. Start by whisking the eggs and eggnog together in a large bowl
2. Add the cinnamon and brown sugar, mix well to combine.
3. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat
4. Dip slices of panettone in the wet mixture, coat both sides but they do not need to be drenched.
5. Cook each slice about 1-2 min on each side, or until browned.
6. In the bowl of a stand mixer, place mascarpone, heavy cream and sugar in the bowl and using the whisk attachment, whip until stiff peaks form, store the leftovers in the fridge. 
7. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings, enjoy!
