Ingredients
4 large eggs
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup Grand Marnier or other orange-flavored liqueur
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar
1 1/2 tablespoon grated orange peel
3/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
8 3/4-inch-thick French bread slices
6 tablespoons butter
Super fine sugar
Warm maple syrup [preferably Grade B]

Method
Whisk first 6 ingredients to blend in medium bowl. Dip each bread slice into egg
mixture and arrange in 13x9x2-inch glass baking dish. Pour remaining egg mixture
evenly over bread. Let stand until egg mixture is absorbed, at least 20 minutes.

Place baking sheet in oven and preheat to 350°F. Melt 3 tablespoons butter in heavy
large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 bread slices to skillet and sauté until cooked
through and brown, about 3 minutes per side. Place on baking sheet in oven to keep
warm. Repeat cooking with remaining 3 tablespoons butter and 4 bread slices.
Transfer French toast to 4 plates. Sprinkle superfine sugar on top. Serve with maple
syrup.
