Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 6 servings

  • ½ cup unsalted butter

  • 1 cup packed brown sugar

  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup

  • 6 (1-inch thick) slices French bread

  • 5 large eggs

  • 1 ½ cups half-and-half cream

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 teaspoon brandy-based orange liqueur (such as Grand Marnier)

  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Directions

  1. Melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add brown sugar and corn syrup; stir until sugar is dissolved. Pour into a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. Remove crusts from bread and arrange in the baking dish in a single layer. Whisk eggs, half and half, vanilla, brandy, and salt together in a bowl. Pour over the bread. Cover and chill at least 8 hours, or overnight.

  3. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Meanwhile, remove baking dish from the refrigerator and bring to room temperature.

  4. Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven until puffed and lightly browned, 35 to 40 minutes.
