  • 2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 and 1/2 Tbsp maple syrup

  • Pinch of cardamom
  • 2 Tbsp sweetened cocoa powder (comes with the Colomba)
  • 6 fresh figs, quartered (or any other fruit you like)

Instructions

  1. Cut Colomba into cubes approximately 3 cm in size.
  2. Place on a parchment lined baking sheet.
  3. Pre-heat oven to 350 degree F.
  4. Place Colomba cubes into the oven and toast for about 10-15 minutes or until golden and slightly toasted.
  5. Take out of oven and set aside.
  6. In a large bowl beat eggs until well mixed.
  7. Add in milk, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, 1 Tbsp cocoa, and cardamom, whisk till well incorporated.
  8. Place Colomba cubes into a baking dish, pour egg mixture throughout and on top of the Colomba cubes, reserving about 20 percent for after.
  9. Sprinkle remaining cocoa powder over egg and Colomba mixture and toss to coat cubes well with both the eggs and cocoa.
  10. In a large sauté pan, heat up oil and 1 tsp butter, to a medium to high heat.
  11. Toss in Colomba and egg mixture and sauté until crispy edges start to form, about 10-15 minutes.
  12. While that is sautéing, butter a 26 cm x 26 cm ( 10 inch square) baking dish, with remaining butter.
  13. Take Colomba from sauté pan and place in baking dish placing it evenly throughout the dish.

  19. Ready to serve.
