   • Arrange the slices of bread in a large baking dish, ensuring they fit snugly without overlapping. The bread should be in a single layer to soak up the delicious marinade evenly.

2. Mix the Marinade:

   • In a mixing bowl, combine the eggs, milk, Grand Marnier, sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk the ingredients together until they are well incorporated and the sugar has dissolved completely. The aroma of the Grand Marnier will infuse the mixture with a delightful citrusy essence.

3. Marinate Overnight:

   • Slowly pour the prepared marinade over the arranged bread slices, ensuring that each slice is thoroughly coated. The bread will soak up the luscious mixture, infusing it with flavor and moisture.
   • Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap or aluminum foil and refrigerate overnight. This extended marination period allows the flavors to meld together beautifully, resulting in an irresistibly delicious French toast.

4. Cooking:

   • The next morning, when you’re ready to indulge in your scrumptious breakfast treat, heat a griddle or large skillet over medium heat. Add a knob of butter and allow it to melt and coat the surface.
   • Carefully transfer the marinated bread slices to the heated griddle or skillet. Cook each slice until golden brown and crispy on both sides, approximately 3-4 minutes per side. The aroma of the cooking French toast will fill your kitchen with warmth and anticipation.
   • Once cooked to perfection, transfer the golden-brown French toast slices to a serving plate.

5. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Serve the Grand Marnier French Toast warm, garnished with your favorite toppings. Whether you prefer a sprinkle of powdered sugar, a drizzle of maple syrup, or a dollop of whipped cream, the choice is yours.
   • Pair this delightful breakfast dish with a cup of freshly brewed coffee or a refreshing glass of orange juice for the ultimate morning indulgence. 🍊☕

Recipe Notes:

• Feel free to use your preferred type of bread for this recipe. While thick slices of brioche or challah are traditional choices, you can also experiment with whole wheat or sourdough bread for a unique twist.
• For a decadent variation, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or a pinch of nutmeg to the marinade mixture. These warm spices will elevate the flavor profile of the French toast and add a cozy touch to your breakfast experience.
• If you’re serving a crowd, you can easily double or triple the recipe to accommodate more servings. Simply adjust the ingredient quantities accordingly and use additional baking dishes for marination.
• Leftover French toast can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Simply reheat the slices in a toaster or toaster oven for a quick and convenient breakfast option during the week.
• Don’t rush the cooking process. Cooking the French toast over medium heat ensures that it cooks evenly and develops a beautiful golden-brown crust without burning.
