Method

  1. Beat the eggs in a bowl until well mixed. Add the clementine zest and juice and cinnamon; mix well. Heat the oil, 1 tsp at a time, in a frying pan over medium-low heat.
  2. Dip the panettone slices in the egg mixture, then fry (in batches) for 1-2 mins each side to brown. The sugars in the bread caramelise quickly, so watch closely to avoid burning. Remove and drain on kitchen paper.
  3. Meanwhile, heat the hazelnut spread and milk in a pan until the spread has softened and the sauce has a smooth consistency.
  4. Slice each piece of panettone into 4 fingers. Serve the panettone on a platter with the chocolate sauce and top with a sprinkling of extra clementine zest, if using.
