Mix the eggs, cream, milk, sugar and vanilla extract in a large shallow bowl.
Dip the panettone slices in the egg so that they absorb some of the egg mix but are not totally saturated.
Heat the butter and oil in a non-stick frying pan and fry the panettone, in batches, for about 2 minutes per side until golden.
Serve warm topped with citrus or persimmon slices with a scattering of pomegranate seeds and a generous drizzle of maple syrup. Dust with icing sugar for a snowy effect.
