BOOZY CARAMEL FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Grease a 9 x 13-inch baking dish with butter.
• In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter with the brown sugar, corn syrup, and one tablespoon of water, stirring with a whisk until smooth. Pour into the prepared pan.
• Slice off the crusts from the brioche (it doesn't need to be perfect). Cut the bread into 1½-in thick slices. Arrange the bread slices on top of caramel, making sure the entire base of the pan is covered.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, half-and-half, vanilla, Grand Marnier, orange zest and salt until well combined. Pour evenly over bread. Cover with plastic wrap and chill at least 20 minutes or overnight.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and set an oven rack in the middle position.
• Bake, uncovered, in the middle of the oven until puffed and golden, 40-50 minutes. Let cool a few minutes (it will deflate), then serve immediately. The caramel base hardens up as it cools, so it's important to serve hot.

CHEF

Steps:

• 1 Take a large baking dish and cover the bottom and sides with butter. 2 Slice a loaf of french bread into toast width and layer the bread into the dish. 3 Crack four eggs in a large mixing bowl and whisk them until smooth. Pour in a cup of sugar, mix, and then add a cup of Irish liqueur. 4 Add the salt, vanilla, and finally the milk, making sure to mix as you pour. 5 Pour the mixture over the bread evenly and then add a generous amount of cinnamon sugar onto the bread. 6 Bake the french toast at 350 degrees for about thirty minutes or until the bread is golden brown.

EGGNOG OVERNIGHT FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Have a rimmed dish or pan (about 1 inch deep) that fits the bread loaf snugly nearby. Using a serrated knife, slice a very thin layer (about 1/16 inch) off the bottom of the loaf to expose the surface for better batter absorption. Cut the top of the bread in 1 1/2-inch-thick slices, being sure not to cut all the way through and leaving about 1/2 inch of bread at the bottom uncut. Then turn the loaf 90 degrees and cut 1 1/2-inch slices in the other direction to make a grid-like pattern, again, not cutting all the way through. Transfer the cut loaf to the dish.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, sugar, cream, melted butter, rum, vanilla and salt until well combined. Slowly pour the batter into the loaf beginning in the center. Gently peel back all the pieces to drench every crevice and the top of the loaf with the batter. Allow to soak for 30 minutes at room temperature, or cover and refrigerate up to overnight.
• Heat the oven to 350 degrees, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Spoon any excess batter that has pooled into the dish back into the loaf and over any dry patches of bread. Carefully transfer the loaf to the lined baking sheet, and bake until the loaf is deeply golden brown on top and the custard has set, about 1 hour. Remove from the oven and dust with the nutmeg and confectioners' sugar. Serve immediately.
