What to do with panettone?

[FelixFelix]

MIL has bought us a panettone, but I've never had one before. This may sound stupid but how are you meant to eat it? It's one with currants in and is fairly large!

[Billingsgatedoxy]

We slice, toast, slather with butter, devour. Makes a nice Christmas Day breakfast.

Have a lovely Christmas

[FunkyPeacock]

Slice it and offer to guests as you would xmas cake or mince pies

It is incredibly moreish so be warned!

[MelanieCheeks]

Tear off chunks, and enjoy with a glass of sherry.

[MrsBertMacklin]

Makes lovely French toast. Or bread and butter pudding.

[Loveleopardprint]

I like to slice it horizontally a few times. Then fill it with a mix of mascarpone, a little icing sugar, orange zest and a crushed flake. Then chill for a yummy pudding.

[bookbook]

Just eat it!

[FelixFelix]

Oh it sounds delicious! How have I missed out on this for so many years?

I was thinking Xmas day breakfast. So I can literally just slice and toast?

[Seeyounearertime]

I've only ever gifted them, never eaten them.

Stollen on the other hand..... Sheesh in could eat that for breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea, supper and as an in between snack.

[freezingmog]

Simply eat it.

I spent christmas in Italy with Italian family. It was often eaten while drinking a glass of good spumante or espresso.

[LeNouedDeViperes]

I'd have it with Prosecco.

[IHaveBrilloHair]

Bin it, it's airy weirdness.

I don't like prosecco but have some nice un-festive special rum to wash it down with. I'm so tempted to crack it open now...

[IHaveBrilloHair]

I don't like prosecco or rum either, bin them.
You need cheese with cheese?

[MrsBartlet]

We cut off the top, then leaving an edge and bottom of about an inch, scoop the rest of the inside out and stuff with vanilla ice-cream. Put the top back on and leave in the freezer. Cut in slices and serve with cream as a Christmas dessert.

[Optimist1]

Loving your recipe, MrsB ! When it's no longer at peak freshness, I slice and toast it and top with a dollop of vanilla icecream - similar, but not as posh! And yours has the bonus of having to dispose of the inner parts whilst in the kitchen

[KP86]

Stale bread masquerading as cake. Give it to someone else.

[snowypenguin]

Shovel it in and wash it down with a glass of cava.

[GoooRooo]

Toast it and put butter on it in cheese sized slices. Mine arrived today - I am very excited about tomorrow's breakfast!

[bookbook]

I hope mine isn't stale KP86 - I'm in the process of making it

[NiceAcorns]

Dunk it in your tea! Yum!

[Nicknamegrief]

Make Jamie Oliver's bread and butter tart with it.
It is divine.

[RomComPhooey]

It makes wonderful bread and butter pudding - all that airy nothingness makes an excellent spongy medium for B&B pudding.

[Thumbcat]

'Stale bread masquerading as cake' is spot on. Bin it and buy stollen instead.

[TotalConfucius]

Just chuck it out and start in the Baileys and Cheeselets.
