I rarely have left over Panettone, because in addition to eating a slice as is with a coffee, I toast it and put a smear of butter on it.
However, sometimes, someone has gifted you with one that isn't quite the best quality, or is really old and so is dry, and so I make French toast out of it. (The ones on sale after Christmas are also quite dry sometimes, so they're good for this.) I've wound up doing this a lot if quite a few people come over on New Year's Day morning.
I like Ina Garden's egg custard recipe for when she uses Challah bread for French toast. I would only add the orange zest if I were using Pandoro, because of course the Panettone already has the aromatic fruits. For company I would also use Half and Half.
