A mis-en-place of ingredients for Panettone French Toast

Slice the Panettone bread into 6 even 1 inch slices. You want a nice thick slice of bread because it will start to crumble.

In a large shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Then dip a slice of Panettone bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides. Allow any excess to drip off. Place into a hot, buttered skillet and allow a nice golden crust to form, about 1-2 minutes per side. Repeat this for each slice of bread.
