Ingredients:

1 stick unsalted butter
1 cup brown sugar - packed
2 Tbs. corn syrup
Lg. Loaf - French or Italian Country Bread (crusts removed)
5 lg. eggs
1 - 1/2 cups half & half
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. Grand Marnier
1/4 tsp. salt

Instructions:

In a small heavy saucepan and over moderate heat, melt butter, brown sugar and
corn syrup. Stir until smooth and evenly pour the butter/sugar mixture into a
9”x13”x2” non-stick baking pan - cover the bottom of the pan.

Remove the crust from the bread and slice into 1” slices. Arrange the bread slices in
one layer to cover the bottom of the pan (butter-sugar mixture) - you may need to fit
the slices together or cut pieces to fit the spaces between.

In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs, half & half, vanilla, Grand Marnier and salt until
combined. Pour or ladle the egg mixture evenly over the bread to ensure that all of
the bread receives the egg mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and chill overnight in
the refrigerator.

In the morning, pre-heat the oven to 350°. Remove the bread mixture from the
refrigerator and bring up to room-temperature. Bake the bread mixture, uncovered,
for 35 to 40 minutes or until puffed and the edges are golden brown.

Serve upside-down immediately !
