Ingredients:

1 large loaf chocolate chip Panettone bread (1 pound) – You can use any kind of Panettone, my family prefers the chocolate chip.
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 cup maple syrup
6 large eggs
2 cups whole milk or half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg

Directions:

In a medium bowl, beat eggs, milk and vanilla.
Next stir in brown sugar, maple syrup, cinnamon and nutmeg
Slice panettone into 1/2 – 1 inch slices and arrange them into a greased 9×13 baking dish, overlapping as needed to fit.
Then pour mixture over Panettone, cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
When you are ready to bake, take out of the refrigerator and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Bake uncovered approximately 45 minutes or until golden brown and all the liquid has been absorbed into the Panettone.
Cut into square slices and serve with warm maple syrup and powdered sugar if desired.
