Instructions

Lightly grease a 9 x 9-inch (23 x 23-cm) non-stick baking dish with vegetable oil.
Cut the half panettone into ½-inch (1.25-cm) slices. (You should have 8 slices.) Spread a layer of Lindt Chocolate Hazelnut Spread over half of the slices and make sandwiches.
Cut each sandwich in half on the diagonal. Shingle the sandwich triangles into the pan so the points stick up and they’re evenly layered.
In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, vanilla and sugar. Slowly pour over panettone triangles in baking dish and gently push down so that panettone absorbs the custard mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour minimum, but better still, overnight.
Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C). Place baking dish in a larger roasting pan and pour hot water into roasting dish so that it comes about 1 inch (2.5 cm) up the side of the baking dish.
Bake on the middle rack of the oven until puffy and golden brown, about 45 to 55 minutes.
Remove baking dish from water bath, slice baked French toast into pieces and serve at once.
