Yield Makes 12 slices

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 large eggs
2 1/2 tablespoons orange-flavored liqueur, such as Grand Marnier
1 tablespoon sanding sugar, plus more for serving
Coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest plus 2 tablespoons juice
1 1/4 cups whole milk
6 tablespoons sunflower oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, plus more for serving
1 loaf brioche (20 ounces), cut into 1/2-inch slices
Pure maple syrup, for serving

Steps:

  • In a large shallow dish, beat eggs with a fork. Beat in liqueur, sugar, large pinch of salt, and orange zest and juice. Add milk and beat until combined.
  • In a large heavy skillet, heat 4 tablespoons oil and 2 tablespoons butter over medium-high until sizzling. Gently dip brioche, one slice at a time, into egg mixture to coat and add to skillet (do not crowd pan). In batches, cook until golden brown on both sides, 5 minutes per batch, flipping once. Transfer to a paper-towel-lined wire rack. Repeat with remaining brioche, adding remaining oil and butter as needed. (Reduce heat if brioche is browning too quickly.)

Yield 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

Compote:
1 cup fresh orange juice
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup spiced rum or dark rum
2 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
6 cups mixed fresh or thawed frozen berries (such as blueberries, blackberries, raspberries and quartered strawberries)

1 cup fresh orange juice
8 1-inch-thick slices brioche, challah, or other egg bread (cut from center of 1 1/2 pound loaf)
Melted butter
Powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Compote: Bring orange juice, sugar and rum to boil in heavy large saucepan, stirring to dissolve sugar. Stir cornstarch and 2 tablespoons water in small bowl to dissolve.

Categories     Bread     Egg     Breakfast

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 eggs
2/3 c orange juice
1/3 c Grand Marnier
1/3 c milk
3 Tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp vanilla
1/4 tsp salt
orange zest
3/4" slices of french bread

Steps:

  • Whisk together all ingredients, except bread, for custard. Arrange bread in baking dish in a single layer. Pour custard over bread, turning to coat each side. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Turn occasionally so all liquid is absorbed. Brown on griddle.

Tips:

  • Use a thick, sturdy bread that can hold up to the custard and the cooking process. Brioche, French bread, or challah are all good options.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly without burning.
  • Flip the French toast only once. This will help it stay intact and prevent it from breaking.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include butter, syrup, fruit, and whipped cream.
