Description
A delicious twist on traditional French toast made with brioche bread, coconut milk, and topped with shredded coconut and sliced almonds.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices of brioche bread
- 1 cup of coconut milk
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup shredded coconut
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 2 tablespoons butter
- Maple syrup, for serving
- Fresh fruit, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, eggs, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until well combined.
- Preheat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter.
- Dip each slice of brioche bread into the coconut milk mixture, allowing it to soak for about 30 seconds on each side.
- Once the skillet is hot, place the soaked brioche slices in the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.
- While the bread is cooking, sprinkle shredded coconut and sliced almonds on top of the bread during the last minute of cooking to toast them slightly.
- Remove the French toast from the skillet and repeat the process with the remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.
- Serve warm with maple syrup drizzled on top and fresh fruit, if desired.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, use half-and-half instead of coconut milk.
- Add a pinch of nutmeg to the egg mixture for an extra layer of warmth and spice.
