Have just been given one, looks to me like an unpleasantly dry fruit cake/bread thing. Prove me wrong!

It's lovely - just eat it as it is, or it makes the most delicious bread and butter pudding.

This is the recipe I use

Panettone Bread Pudding with Amaretto Sauce

Sauce:
1/2 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup whole milk
3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 cup amaretto liqueur
2 teaspoons cornstarch
Bread Pudding:
1 (1-pound) loaf panettone bread, crusts trimmed, bread cut into 1-inch cubes
8 large eggs
1 1/2 cups whipping cream
2 1/2 cups whole milk
1 1/4 cups sugar

To make the sauce: Bring the cream, milk, and sugar to a boil in a heavy small saucepan over medium heat, stirring frequently. In a small bowl, mix the amaretto and cornstarch to blend and then whisk into the cream mixture. Simmer over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, stirring constantly, about 2 minutes. Set aside and keep warm. (The amaretto sauce can be made 3 days ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Rewarm before serving.)
To make the bread pudding: Lightly butter a 13 by 9 by 2-inch baking dish. Arrange the bread cubes in the prepared dish. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, cream, milk, and sugar to blend. Pour the custard over the bread cubes, and press the bread cubes gently to submerge. Let stand for 30 minutes, occasionally pressing the bread cubes into the custard mixture. (Recipe can be prepared up to this point 2 hours ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

Bake until the pudding puffs and is set in the center, about 45 minutes. Cool slightly. Spoon the bread pudding into bowls, drizzle with the warm amaretto sauce, and serve.

I love it lightly toasted with a good layer of yummy strawberry jam for breakfast.

we fry it in butter or make eggy-type bread with it to eat with icecream and raspberry coulis instead of Christmas pudding [ponce emoticon]
(that is if I haven't scoffed it all for breakfast slathered in butter and marmalade first)

delicious

Dunk it in a cappucino or better still cover it in nutella. A comment like an unpleasantly dry fruit cake would be enough to get u beaten to a plup over in Italian. I mean to an italian christmas just wouldn't be christmas it you didnt receive at least 5 panetonne from santa. Never tried to make a BB pudding but must give it a try as sounds yummy.

Can't stand custard (don't kill me!) so bread&butter pud is a non-starter I'm afraid. Eggy bread sounds all right but think I might just slice it up and serve it like toasted teacakes at my New Year's day buffet for the inlaws. If it turns out we love it we can always buy more. Thanks but I remain convinced I won't!
