Sesame Crusted Panettone French Toast with Pear Butter

January 28, 2017 By stemsandforks 1 Comment

 

Lunar New Year in our family is just another excuse to get together to eat copious amounts of food. Typically we go to my mom’s home, where she cooks up lavish Korean dishes and the entire family eats like gluttons for both lunch and dinner.

Taking this into consideration I skipped on groceries today and figured I’d scrounge something up from the cupboards for breakfast. Maybe cold cereal?

To my pleasant surprise I found a panettone untouched in its box from Christmas. It was a bit too dry to eat alone but was still good enough to eat. Together with 3 over-ripe pears, Breakfast became panettone French toast with pear butter. The pear butter complemented this eggy sweet bread perfectly. The sesame seeds added a wonderful nutty crunch.

This dish may not be a typical Korean New Year dish, but it certainly felt like a holiday breakfast. Happy Lunar New Year.

Bon app!
