THE best french toast there is. I made it the morning after Thanksgiving...every one loved it. Later on I got an e-mail from my husband's great aunt saying how much she loved it, and that she would never get french toast anywhere else because it would never be as good as this!

Wonderful recipe! Made this for father's day brunch...I used 1 1/3 c. 1% milk and 2/3 c. heavy cream instead of half and half and I only used 4 eggs because my mom hates anything "eggy"
Also substituted 1/4 tsp cinnamon for the orange...it goes great with whipped cream and strawberries, jam or even maple syrup of course
The almonds add a great touch I might try to put them on both sides next time

SO delicious! This is the first French toast I've made that isn't soggy in the middle. The only thing - when you put your first batch in the pan, wait a few minutes to put the next slices in the egg, otherwise they'll absorb too much and fall apart!

What an amazing way to end a meal! I made this a month ago for some friends, they loved it so much they have requested it over and over again.

This has nice flavor but I wouldn't soak the bread. I would dip like regular french toast so it doesn't get soggy in the middle.

I didn't have orange liqueur so I substituted orange juice. It was very rich and tasty. The only complaint is that it was a little bit soggy on the inside but that's probably because I cut the slices too thick.

It would be nice if Food Network would add Ina's brioche recipe from "Barefoot in Paris" to the available recipes in the search. Then one could actually make the brioche and the pain perdu!

We made this for dessert one night! Really fantastic! Ina is the queen in our house and I have never had trouble with any of her recipes.
