Ingredients
- ½ pint fresh strawberries, (hulled and sliced)
- 2 tablespoons granulated white sugar, (divided)
- 3 tablespoons Grand Marnier, (divided)
- 6 extra-large eggs
- 1½ cups milk or half & half
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon grated orange zest
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1 large brioche or challah loaf
- unsalted butter
- vegetable oil
- ½ cup sliced almonds, (toasted)
- powdered sugar, (for serving)
Steps
-
In a small bowl, combine the strawberries, 1 tablespoon of the sugar and 1 tablespoon of the Grand Marnier; set aside.
-
Preheat the oven to 250℉.
-
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, honey, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 2 tablespoons of Grand Marnier, vanilla, orange zest and salt. Slice the bread into ¾-inch slices. Pour the egg mixture into a large, shallow plate, and soak a few slices of bread for 4 minutes, turning once.
-
Heat one tablespoon each of butter and oil in a very large skillet over medium-heat. Take each slice of bread from the egg mixture, dip one side in the toasted almonds, and place in the skillet almond-side-down (while cooking each batch, add more bread to the egg mixture to soak). Cook 2 to 3 minutes on each side, until nicely browned. Place the cooked bread on a baking sheet and keep it warm in the oven. Wipe out the pan with a dry paper towel, add more butter and oil, and continue to fry the remaining soaked bread until they're all cooked. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve hot with the strawberries.
