Coconut Cream French Toast image

I didn't think the name coconut French toast did this justice, and while certainly not pie-like, the flavor profile was kind of close, and I was very pleased with the results. The staler your bread, the better this will turn out! Garnish with maple syrup, fresh mango, and lime juice.

Time 38m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 egg
1 egg yolk
⅓ cup coconut milk
1 teaspoon white sugar
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
3 thick slices very stale French bread, halved crosswise
3 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Place whole egg and egg yolk in a bowl. Add coconut milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and nutmeg; whisk until batter is combined.
  • Soak bread halves in batter, tossing every 2 to 3 minutes to ensure they are absorbing the batter evenly, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place soaked bread in a single layer in the skillet. Cook until richly browned, crispy, and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes per side.
  • Toast coconut flakes in a dry skillet until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Sprinkle over bread.

I'm not a fan of coconut, but I decided to give this recipe a try. I was pleasantly surprised! The coconut cream sauce was subtle and creamy, and it paired perfectly with the French toast. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe was a waste of time. The coconut cream sauce didn't taste like anything and the French toast was tough. I won't be making this one again.

I was really excited to try this recipe, but I was disappointed. The coconut cream sauce was too runny and the French toast was too greasy. I think it could have used a different type of bread or a different cooking method.

This recipe was okay, but not great. The coconut cream sauce was too thick and the French toast was undercooked. I think it could have used a few more minutes in the pan.

This recipe was a disaster! The coconut cream sauce curdled and the French toast was soggy. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I won't be trying this one again.

I found this recipe to be a bit bland. The coconut cream sauce didn't have much flavor and the French toast was dry. I think it could have used more spices or a sweeter sauce.

This was a fun and easy recipe to try. The coconut cream sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste, but overall it was a good dish. I would recommend using less sugar in the sauce next time.
