Crunchy Brioche French Toast with Orange Curd, Chocolate Sauce and Mascarpone Whipped Cream

This recipe is always a family favorite, especially around special occasions that involve a nice big brunch spread like Mothers Day and Fathers Day. We are not talking about simply slapping a piece of white bread into an egg and milk mixture, frying it up, and dousing it with syrup! This is gourmet French Toast to die for, and the special people in your life deserve this at least one day a year (but generally more often)! The orange curd, Grand Marnier chocolate sauce, and Mascarpone Whipped Cream are the toppings, with a nice, sweet slice of orange added for a refreshing touch.
