Panettone Sandwich

Panettone can be used in many different ways besides being savored on its own. One of these ways is to turn it into delicious sweet sandwiches, ideal for a brunch or an afternoon snack. Here’s how you can do it:

Ingredients

• Slices of panettone (about 2 cm thick)
• Nutella or chocolate cream (quantity as desired)
• Mascarpone (quantity as desired)
• Fresh fruit of choice (strawberries, bananas, etc.)
• Butter (for the pan)
• Powdered sugar (for garnish)

Preparation

1. Take two slices of panettone and spread them with Nutella or chocolate cream on one side.
2. Add a thin layer of mascarpone over the chocolate cream.
3. Slice fresh fruit and arrange it over the mascarpone layer.
4. Close with the other slice of panettone, with the spread side facing inward, to form the sandwich.
5. Heat butter in a non-stick pan and toast the sandwich on both sides until it is crispy and golden on the outside.
6. Remove from the heat and let cool a moment before cutting the panettone sandwich diagonally.
7. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.

The contrast between the warmth and crispy exterior with the soft and moist interior will make this panettone sandwich a true delight.
