Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoon butter
  • 2 eggs slightly beaten
  • 1 cup heavy cream can substitute with half and half or whole milk, but heavy cream recommended
  • 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.
  • Cook French toast: Cook until golden brown, about 5 minutes on each side, flipping only once.
  • Serve hot with pure maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar.
