Mini Panettone and Nutella Sandwiches

  • 4 thin slices Bauducco panettone, crusts trimmed, each slice cut in quarters
  • ¼ cup Nutella
  • ½ pear, thinly sliced
  • Butter, for frying

Spread each panettone slice with Nutella. Lay 1 or 2 pear slices on 8 of the panettone slices, trimming them to be flush with the panettone’s edges. Top with remaining slices of panettone. In a cast-iron pan, melt a pat of butter. When pan is hot, lay two of the sandwiches in the pan, frying until brown, 1 or 2 minutes, pressing down once or twice. Flip and fry another minute or so. Dust with powdered sugar and serve with coffee, tea or port.
