Although this is really a breakfast/brunch dish, my daughters occasionally beg to have this for supper. Occasionally I indulge them. Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter |
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar |
2 tablespoons honey |
6 slices day old challah (1 inch thick) |
5 large eggs |
1 1/2 cups half-and-half |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 teaspoon orange syrup or 1 teaspoon orange liqueur |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Combine butter, brown sugar and honey in a heavy saucepan over medium heat.
2. Cook, stirring constantly, until melted and smooth.
3. Pour into a 13 x 9 inch baking dish.
4. Trim crusts from bread and arrange in one layer in the baking dish.
5. Whisk together the eggs, half and half, Grand Marnier,vanilla and salt in a large mixing bowl.
6. Pour evenly over the bread.
7. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight.
8. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
9. Remove the dish from the refrigerator and let come to room temperature.
10. Bake, uncovered, for 35-40 minutes or until puffed and edges are light golden brown.
11. Serve immediately with individual pieces turned over with the caramel on top.
