Ingredients
3large eggs
3/4cup coconut milkfull fat
1teaspoon coconut rum
1/4tsp coconut extract
1/4teaspoon vanilla extract
pinch of salt
1, 5cups shredded sweetened coconut
6small or 3 big slices of French bread
2Tbsp of Butter
Instructions
1. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, coconut extract, vanilla extract, rum and salt. Place the shredded coconut on a plate. Dip both sides of each slice of bread into the egg mixture. Dip both sides of the coated bread into the shredded coconut. Drizzle a little egg mixture on top of the coconut to make it stick to the bread.
Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick frying pan or a griddle to medium to medium-high heat, melting the butter in it. Fry the slices of brioche until golden brown on one side and then turn and cook the other side. Don't let your pan get too hot or the French Toast will burn before it's done inside. Serve immediately or keep Coconut French toast warm in a 250 degree F oven.
3. Serve with butter, pure maple syrup, and fruit.
