Move over, syrup, it’s time for a citrusy and boozy upgrade! We’ve transformed our original Cardamom French Toast into a variation of a classic French Suzette, complete with orange juice and Grand Marnier. However, if you’re looking for an alcohol free version, simply swap the Grand Marnier out for two more tablespoons of orange juice. While this dish is traditionally served as a dessert, it also makes for an impressive addition to any brunch table!
