What you will need

• 40g butter

Step-by-step

1. Cook the pineapple

Melt half the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Sprinkle 1 tablespoonful of the sugar over both sides of the pineapple. Add half the pineapple to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes each side or until pineapple caramelises. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining pineapple.
2. Whisk, dip & cook the bread

Whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, cinnamon and remaining sugar in a medium shallow bowl until well combined. Melt the remaining butter in the pan. Dip 2 slices of panettone into the egg mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Continue in 3 more batches with remaining egg mixture and panettone.
