Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350F. Grease a square baking dish (8x8). Soak the cubed panettone in milk in a bowl. Set aside as you prepare the other ingredients.
In another bowl, beat the eggs then add the rest of the ingredients - sugar, vanilla extract, spices, dried fruit and nuts. Pour over the soaked bread and mix until combined.
Pour the mixture over the prepared baking dish. Bake for about 40-45 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Allow to cool for at least 8-10 minutes and then slice and serve. You may drizzle some maple syrup on top, if desired or have it with some whipped cream or ice cream instead.
