Toasted Panettone Croutons with Strawberry Salad

Ingredients:

• 2 slices of Loison Classic Panettone about 1cm thick
• 500g of strawberries
• 200g of sugar
• 1 lemon
• 1 bourbon vanilla stick
• Icing sugar to taste

Directions:

1. Cut the slices of panettone into cubes, place them in a baking dish well spread out, then bake them in a preheated oven at 90°C for about half an hour (if they are still soft, leave them as long as necessary).
2. In the meantime, wash the strawberries well, cut them into cubes and pour them into a saucepan with the sugar, vanilla pod and the juice of a lemon.
3. Cook until the liquid becomes syrupy. Then serve on a small plate or cup with the warm strawberries, place the panettone croutons on top and add a dusting of icing sugar.
4. If you wish, decorate with mint leaves.

Chef's Advise

It would be a good idea to prepare the croutons the day before so that they dry well and remain crispy.
