Just when we’d turned the last of our panettone into French toast for New Year’s Day breakfast, another panettone arrived.

Oh no, we thought: What do we do with this panettone vis-à-vis our New Year’s resolution to give up the sugar group for January?

Fortunately, Whole Foods Market came to the rescue with this recipe for a yogurt and fruit parfait with cubes of panettone—just a touch. We’re not breaking the resolution—just bending it.

RECIPE: PANETTONE YOGURT PARFAIT

Ingredients For 4 Servings

 
Preparation

1. SPRAY-oil a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Add the panettone cubes and cook, tossing occasionally until just toasted, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate and set aside to let cool.

2. Add the almonds to the skillet and cook, tossing occasionally until toasted, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.

NOTE: If you’re in a hurry, you can make the parfait with untoasted panettone and almonds.

3. DRIZZLE the panettone with any juice that collected when you cut the oranges; then layer in four tall glasses or large wine goblets along with the oranges and yogurt.

4. TOP with almonds, garnish with mint and serve.
