Steps:
- Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with butter.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the brown sugar, corn syrup, and one tablespoon of water, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan.
- Slice off the crusts from the brioche (it doesn't need to be perfect). Cut the bread into 1½-in thick slices. Arrange the bread slices on top of caramel, making sure the entire base of the pan is covered.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, vanilla, Grand Marnier, orange zest and salt until well combined. Pour evenly over bread. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 20 minutes or overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
- Bake, uncovered, in the middle of the oven until puffed and golden, 40-50 minutes. Let cool a few minutes (it will deflate), then serve immediately. The caramel base hardens up as it cools, so it's important to serve hot.

BLINTZ BAKED FRENCH TOAST
The perfect make-ahead brunch, this casserole has the flavors of a blintz in French toast form. Instead of the more traditional cottage cheese, creamy ricotta goes into the custard poured on top of the challah, and everything is baked until crisp on the outside and pillowy on the inside. This recipe comes from Molly Yeh, the host of the cooking show Girl Meets Farm.

BOOZY BAKED FRENCH TOAST
Steps:
- 1. Generously grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with salted (my choice) or unsalted butter. 2. Arrange bread in two tightly-packed layers in the pan. I always cut one slice into smaller pieces to fill in gaps, especially when using braided Challah. If using a thinner-sliced bread, you might wish for more layers, though I find that over three, even baking can be difficult. If you are using any fillings of fruit or nuts, this is the time to get them between the layers or sprinkled atop. 3. Whisk milk, eggs, sugar, salt and booze or flavorings of your choice and pour over the bread. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar. 4. Wrap tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. The bread will absorb all of the milk custard while you sleep. 5. Bake at 425 for 30 minutes, or until puffed and golden. This will take longer if you have additional layers. 6. Cut into generous squares and serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, powdered sugar or all of the above.

Steps:
- Whisk first 6 ingredients to blend in medium bowl. Dip each bread slice into egg mixture and arrange in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Pour remaining egg mixture evenly over bread. Let stand until egg mixture is absorbed, at least 20 minutes. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
- Place baking sheet in oven and preheat to 350&F. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 bread slices to skillet and saut&until cooked through and brown, about 3 minutes per side. Place on baking sheet in oven to keep warm. Repeat cooking with remaining 2 tablespoons butter and 4 bread slices. Transfer French toast to 4 plates. Sift powdered sugar over. Serve with maple syrup.
Tips:
- Use a good quality bread for your French toast. A sturdy bread like challah or brioche will hold up well to the custard and baking process.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different flavors in your custard. You can add spices like cinnamon or nutmeg, or extracts like vanilla or almond.
- Soak your bread in the custard for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight. This will allow the bread to absorb the custard and become flavorful and moist.
- When baking your French toast, use a moderate oven temperature (350 degrees Fahrenheit) and bake until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve your French toast with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.
