Coconut French Toast


I can't believe that I haven't posted this recipe!  I've made it for years, and even published it to a variety of neighborhood cookbooks.  Time to add it here!  If you have any cans of coconut milk, try this recipe!

Yield: 10 - 12 slices

Ingredients

  • 8 medium or large eggs
  • 1¼ cups coconut milk (10 - 12 oz. can)
  • 2 Tbsp Sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 10 - 14 slices of bread (thicker better)
  • 6 - 8 oz. flaked coconut
  • Maple or flavored syrup
Instructions:

Heat an electric griddle to 250 degrees (adjust as necessary).
Beat the eggs, coconut milk, cinnamon, and sugar together in a large, shallow dish.
Sprinkle shredded coconut atop the mixture and mix them in slightly.
Dip slices of bread into the tasty mixture, letting them soak 30 - 60 seconds each side.
Lay on the griddle and let brown to the desired golden-brown hue, flipping once to cook thoroughly.

Serve with syrup of choice!  And a side of freshly cut pineapple is delicious.

NOTE:  If desired, you can oven bake them at 450 degrees; 5 minutes on each side.  Lay flat on a greased baking sheet.
