How to Make Christmas Morning French Toast
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a 9x12 inch rectangular baking dish with butter.
- Arrange 12 croissants lengthwise in the prepared baking dish, two per row.
- In a large bowl, whisk together: 2 cups heavy cream, 1 cup whole milk, 6 large eggs, 1/4 cup Grand Marnier, 1/2 cup dried cherries, and 1 tablespoon orange zest.
- Gently pour the egg mixture evenly over the croissants, ensuring they are fully soaked.
- Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 4 hours).
- Before baking, sprinkle the top of the casserole with 1 teaspoon granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 cup toasted slivered almonds. Lightly sprinkle with another 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until golden brown and set, on the middle rack of the oven.
- Let cool slightly before serving. Drizzle generously with warmed pure maple syrup.
