French Toast:

1. Whisk the milk, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla pod seeds together in a bowl.
2. Cut the panettone or brioche into thick slices and halve them. Dip the bread pieces in the batter and fry them in a knob of butter until golden brown—about 3 minutes per side.

(Tip: You can also pre-bake the French toast and reheat it in the oven for 10 minutes at 180°C.

Lemon Cream:

1. Blend creme fraiche, icing sugar en lemon juice together until smooth. Taste: it should be refreshing, not too sweet—a perfect complement to the sweet bread.

Roasted Necatrines:

1. Cut the nectarines in half and remove the pits.
2. Scrape the vanilla seeds from the pod. Heat butter in a skillet and arrange the nectarines cut-side down.
3. Add the vanilla seeds, the pod, and the sugar or honey.
4. Bake the nectarines for 5–10 minutes, or until golden brown. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

Serving:
Serve the French toast with the lemon cream, warm nectarines, and sprinkle with pistachios.
