Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoon butter
- 2 eggs slightly beaten

- 2 Tablespoon Grand Marnier orange liqueur
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 16 ounces brioche bread thick slices
Instructions
- Prepare griddle: Heat large griddle over medium heat. Grease surface with 2 Tablespoon butter.
- Prepare soak: In shallow flat dish, combine 2 eggs, 1 cup heavy cream, 2 Tablespoon Grand Marnier, 1 teaspoon vanilla, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1 teaspoon orange zest.
- Soak bread: Using 16 ounces brioche bread, soak both sides of each piece of bread in the liquid. Gently shake off any excess and transfer to griddle. Note: Due to the softness of the bread, do not soak until you are ready to directly transfer it to the hot griddle.
