How to Make Grand Marnier French Toast Marianted Overnight

  1. Preheat your griddle or large skillet to medium heat.
  2. Arrange 8 slices of challah bread (or your favorite bread) in a single layer in a large, shallow baking dish (9x13 inch).
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, Grand Marnier, vanilla extract, sugar, and cinnamon until well combined.
  4. Slowly pour the custard mixture evenly over the bread, ensuring all slices are thoroughly soaked. Gently press down on the bread to help it absorb the liquid.
  5. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight (or for at least 6 hours).
  6. The next morning, melt butter in your preheated griddle or skillet.
  7. Carefully remove the bread slices from the baking dish and cook on the griddle for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Add more butter as needed.
  8. Serve immediately, dusted with powdered sugar and accompanied by your favorite toppings such as fresh berries, whipped cream, or maple syrup.
