Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp light corn syrup
- 1 cup packed brown sugar
- 1” thick slices of panettone to fit a 13×9” baking dish
- 5 large eggs
- 1 ½ cups half-and-half
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 1 ½ tsp Grand Marnier
- ¼ tsp salt
Instructions
- Melt butter in a small, heavy bottomed saucepan. Add brown sugar and corn syrup, stirring until dissolved. Pour evenly into the bottom of a 13×9” baking dish.
- Slice panettone into 1” thick slices and place as many as you can fit in the baking dish without overlapping.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, half-and-half, vanilla extract, Grand Marnier, and salt until well incorporated. Pour the mixture evenly over the top of the bread, cover the pan with foil, and refrigerate overnight.
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Remove the baking dish from the refrigerator and remove the foil. Bring to room temperature while the oven is heating.
- Bake uncovered for 35-40 minutes or until the bread looks slightly browned and puffy.
- Remove from the oven and let set for 3-5 minutes before serving.
