Panettone crema bruciata French toast

Panettone—that gorgeous Italian sweet bread studded sweet sultanas (raisins) and bits of orange peel is amazing all by itself or toasted with a pat of butter, but how about using slices of it to make a Crème Brûlée French Toast , or in Italian, a crema bruciata French toast? Mama Mia! Then it's transformed into something that's utterly sinful! Butter and brown sugar combine to make a caramel-like sauce that's tucked under panettone slices which have been soaked in egg, cream and orange flavored Grand Marnier. The pillowy, sweet panettone slices are so delectable that they'll have you singing Italian opera by the first bite. A salty slice of bacon is a nice compliment.
