Serves/Makes: 6 | Ready In: > 5 hrs
Ingredients:
1 stick sweet, unsalted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar (dark)
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1 loaf 8-9" diameter round style bread (may substitute Challah or Hawaiian)
5 large eggs
1 1/2 cup half and half
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon Grand Marnier liquer, PLUS
1 teaspoon Grand Marnier liquer
1/4 teaspoon salt
Directions:
In a small heavy sauce pan, melt sugar, butter and corn syrup at moderate heat stirring until smooth. Pour this mixture into a 13x9x2" glass baking pan.
Cut 1" thick slices from the center of the bread, saving the ends for another use. Trim the crust.
In a bowl, whip eggs, half and half, vanilla, Grand Marnier, and salt. Place butter, sugar, corn syrup mixture in the glass baking pan. Then fit bread slices tightly in baking pan. If bread does not fill pan add an extra slice to fill bottom of pan. Pour egg mixture over bread slices distributing evenly.
Cover and place in refrigerator for at least 8 hours (may leave in refrigerator for up to 24 hours). Take pan out of refrigerator and let it come to room temperature.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Bake uncovered in middle of oven until puffed and edges pale golden brown approximately 35-49 minutes (may take longer depending on your oven).
Cut into serving pieces and flip with spatula so dark side is up. Serve dark side up and spoon any remaining sauce over top.
