Coconut Lover’s Delight: Baked French Toast Recipe with a Twist

Today’s Unique Brunch Recipe: Baked Coconut French Toast

I’m excited to share this new recipe with you today because it’s a perfect blend of comforting flavors and unexpected ingredients that will elevate your brunch experience. The combination of coconut and French toast may sound unusual, but trust me, it’s a delicious twist on a classic dish that will impress your taste buds.

To start, gather the following ingredients:

• brioche bread (300g)
• coconut milk (400ml)
• eggs (4)
• shredded coconut (50g)
• brown sugar (50g)
• vanilla extract (1 tsp)
• cinnamon (1 tsp)
• salt (1/2 tsp)
• butter (for greasing)

Prepare your kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• baking dish
• baking sheet
• oven

Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C) and greasing a baking dish with butter. In a mixing bowl, combine the coconut milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt. Whisk until well combined.

Slice the brioche bread into thick slices and dip each slice into the coconut milk mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side. Place the soaked bread slices in the greased baking dish, overlapping slightly.

Pour any remaining coconut milk mixture over the bread slices, making sure to coat them evenly. Sprinkle the shredded coconut on top of the bread slices, pressing lightly to adhere.

Bake the French toast in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the custard is set. Serve the baked coconut French toast warm, with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

This unique brunch dish weighs approximately 1200g in total and serves 6 people. Each serving is around 200g and has an estimated calorie count of 350.

One clever tip for this recipe is to sprinkle some extra shredded coconut on top of the French toast halfway through baking for an extra crunch and flavor boost. Your guests will love the added texture!
