Grand Marnier French Toast with Orange Butter Sauce

Thinking about brunch? Here's a tasty idea from Julie on the charter yacht McGregor.

Ingredients (Serves 6)

French Toast

• 12 slices French Bread, cut 1 1/2″ thick
• 6 ounces Cream Cheese
• 6 ounces Orange Marmalade
• 1/4 cup Grand Marnier
• 1 1/2 cups Half and Half
• 1/4 cup Orange Juice
• 8 large Eggs
• 2 teaspoons Nutmeg, freshly ground

Orange Butter Syrup

• 1/2 cup Butter
• 1/4 cup Orange Juice
• 1/4 cup Grand Marnier
• 1 cup Powdered Sugar

Method

• Using a sharp bread knife, make a pocket in each slice of bread. Place a small slice of cream cheese inside. Add orange marmalade to the pocket.
• Beat together the eggs, cream, Grand Marnier, orange juice and nutmeg.
• Pour egg mixture over the bread, and let stand 5 minutes.
• Fry each slice in butter until golden brown. Remove to a cookie sheet and place in a warm oven (350 degrees). The toast will puff up and finish cooking through in the oven.
• For the orange butter syrup, melt all ingredients together in a small saucepan.
• To serve: Spoon syrup on the plates, add 2 slices french toast and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Garnish with fresh oranges or mint.

Goes Great With Mimosas!
