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.
