This decadent breakfast dish of crème brûlée French toast is soaked overnight and then baked. A little time consuming, but definitely worth the wait! The results are a delicious, flavorful French Toast that puffs up with a sweet sugary dessert-like crunchy crust while staying perfectly moist inside. Serve with fresh sweet strawberries macerated in Grand Marnier (or other orange-flavored liqueur).

1/4 cup sugar
1 quart strawberries
powdered sugar
2 tsp. Grand Marnier or Cointreau
