Ingredients




8 eggs
4 egg whites
1 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
6 cups milk
2 tablespoons Grand Marnier
Zest from 2 oranges

2 loaves sweet French bread
Nutmeg

Powdered sugar

Preparation

1 In a large mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, egg whites, sugar and salt. Add the milk, Grand Marnier and orange zest. Whisk again. 2 Slice the bread into 1 inch slices and dip in the mixture until the bread is saturated, approximately 1 minute. Arrange on a baking sheet and set aside for 1 hour. If time permits, prepare the night before and refrigerate overnight. 3 In a large, lightly oiled skillet or griddle, slowly brown both sides of the bread for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove to a clean cookie sheet and sprinkle lightly with nutmeg. 4 When all the slices are browned, place in a 425 degree F oven and bake for 20 minutes. 5 Arrange on a warm platter and sprinkle generously with powdered sugar and nutmeg. 6 Serve immediately with pure maple syrup.
