2. Melt the marmalade in a small saucepan over a low heat. Lay half of the panettone slices in a single layer in the buttered dish, then spoon over half of the marmalade.
3. Beat the eggs together with the milk and vanilla extract. Pour half of the egg and milk mixture over the panettone, then layer over the remaining panettone slices, the rest of the marmalade and the rest of the egg and milk mixture.
