Ingredients

  • 1 loaf bread, sliced thick
  • 6 eggs
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp Grand Marnier* (see note)
  • 1/2 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp orange zest (half an orange’s worth)

Instructions

  • Whisk eggs in medium-sized mixing bowl.
  • Add in heavy cream, Grand Mariner, orange zest and cinnamon, until well combined.
  • Slice loaf of bread about one to one-and-a-half inches thick.
  • Pour batter into wide bottom bowl or dish.
  • Heat butter in medium-size, heavy bottom pan over medium-high heat until butter has melted, and pan is hot. Reduce heat to medium or medium-low once pan is hot.
  • While pan is heating, place slice(s) of bread in batter and allow to soak on each side for at least 30 seconds, but for no longer than necessary to allow bread to get saturated.
  • Cook soaked bread slices until browned, about five to six minutes on each side.
  • Repeat until loaf is finished.
  • Discard unused batter.
  • Serve immediately.
  • Top with powdered sugar, syrup, fresh fruit or whipped cream.

Notes

  • For alcohol-free version, skip Grand Mariner and add another tablespoon of orange zest and a tsp of Alcohol-free Rum Extract.
