   Then cut into 3⁄4 inch (1.9 cm)-thick slices, crosswise. , It is appropriate to overlap the slices, just don't let them extend above the pan sides. , Push the pieces in between the slices of bread you've already arranged.
   
   With what is remaining, sprinkle across the top of the bread slices. , Add the half and half, vanilla extract and orange liqueur or orange juice.
   
   Whisk everything together and blend well. , Do this carefully and slowly, covering the entire dish evenly.
