    Source of Recipe


    rgm

    List of Ingredients




    1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter
    1 cup packed brown sugar
    2 tablespoons corn syrup
    1 loaf Challah (this Jewish bread is often available on
    Fridays and Saturdays at grocery store bakeries)
    5 large eggs
    1 1/2 cups half-and-half
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    1 teaspoon Grand Marnier
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    Berries for garnish

    Recipe



    In a small heavy saucepan, melt butter with brown sugar and corn syrup over moderate heat, stirring until smooth. Pour into a 13 x 9-inch baking dish. Cut 1-inch-thick slices from center of bread, reserving ends for another use, and trim crusts. Arrange bread slices in one layer in baking dish, squeezing them slightly to fit. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, vanilla extract, Grand Marnier and salt until combined well and pour evenly over bread. Chill bread mixture, covered, at least 8 hours and up to 1 day.

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F and bring bread to room temperature. Bake bread mixture, uncovered, in middle of oven until puffed and edges are pale golden, 35 to 40 minutes.

    To serve, invert on a large platter, dust with confectioners' sugar and garnish with strawberries or blueberries.

    Serves 6.
