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.) Serve with butter and sugar or maple syrup.

This French toast was a bit too eggy for my taste. I think I'll use less eggs next time.

I'm not a huge fan of Grand Marnier, but this recipe was still really good. The French toast was light and fluffy, and the cinnamon sugar topping was the perfect finishing touch.

I didn't have any Grand Marnier, so I used orange juice instead. It was still really good!

This French toast was amazing! I used a slightly different bread than the recipe called for, but it still turned out great. The Grand Marnier added a really nice flavor to the dish.
