Ingredients:
- 1 cup half-and-half
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup Grand Marnier
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 8 slices bread (preferably thick-cut)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Custard Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the half-and-half, eggs, brown sugar, salt, and Grand Marnier until well combined and smooth.
-
Soak the Bread:
- Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, ensuring it is fully submerged for about 20 seconds. This allows the bread to absorb the flavorful custard.
-
Cook the French Toast:
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a tablespoon of butter.
- Place the soaked bread slices onto the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning, you want a gentle sizzle.
- Repeat with the remaining slices, adding more butter to the skillet as needed.
-
Serve:
- Once cooked, transfer the French toast to a warm platter.
- Dust the French toast with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
- Serve immediately with maple syrup and additional butter on the side.
This Grand Marnier French Toast is best enjoyed fresh off the griddle, while still warm and crispy on the outside, and soft and custardy on the inside. It’s a delightful indulgence that will surely impress your guests at any brunch gathering. Enjoy every decadent bite! 🍽️✨
