Coconut French Toast

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• 1 1/2 cups milk OR milk substitute
• 1/2 baguette, sliced
• 4 tablespoons butter or coconut oil
• 1/2 cup shredded unsweetened coconut
• Optional Toppings: more coconut, honey, maple syrup, berries

Instructions

1. 1

   In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs, sugar, vanilla and milk until blended.

2. 2

   Preheat pan over medium heat with half the butter.

3. 3

   Set bread in milk mixture, and allow to soak 3-5 minutes. (Soak-time will depend on how stale your bread is and what kind of bread-- A French baguette can soak longer than Italian loaf. Don't let the bread start to fall apart.)

4. 4

   Place the soaked bread in hot buttered pan, and coat the upward facing side with shredded coconut. Cook about 3 minutes, until golden brown, and then flip. Add the rest of the butter to the pan. Cook about 3 more minutes.

5. 5

   Serve hot with desired toppings.
