Preparation
Chef’s notes
Brioche is a lightly sweetened yeast bread enriched with lots of butter and eggs. If unavailable, challah makes an excellent substitute.
Grand Marnier is an orange-flavored liqueur. It adds depth of flavor and subtle orange flavor that pairs nicely with the orange zest and caramel. If you’d like to omit the booze, replace it with more half and half.
