[Dick Walker]

I am posting this ion order to get away from pumps, etc.  This is a great
breakfast dish.  The oven on a C-320 works fine.

 

It is prepared the night before.

 

Enjoy. 

 


CREME BRULEE FRENCH TOAST 

>From the galley of WindWalker II

Use large slices from a round loaf of bread and remove the crust; we also
tried the recipe with a sourdough loaf, leaving the crust on, and found it
just as delicious.  Also challah bread is good.

1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons maple syrup

an 8- to 9-inch round or loaf country-style bread
5 large eggs
1 1/2 cups half-and-half
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier 

1/4 teaspoon salt 

In a small heavy saucepan melt butter with brown sugar and  maple syrup over
moderate heat, stirring, until smooth and pour into a 13- by 9- by 2-inch
baking dish. Cut six 1-inch thick slices of bread. Arrange bread slices in
one layer in baking dish, squeezing them slightly to fit. 

In a bowl whisk together eggs, half-and-half, vanilla, Grand Marnier, and
salt until combined well and pour evenly over bread. Chill bread mixture,
covered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day. 

Preheat oven to 350° F. and bring bread mixture to room temperature. 

Bake bread mixture, uncovered, in middle of oven until puffed and edges are
pale golden, 35 to 40 minutes. 

Serve hot French toast immediately. Makes 6 servings.
