Easy Coconut French Toast

French toast is made with milk, butter, and egg for the batter. Day-old bread is the way to finish the bread in an interesting way. Many recipes for French toast that one can use make up their own way of making French toast with sweet seasonings, such as cinnamon, maple syrup, honey, and powdered sugar. Others will use bacon, sausages, etc... French toast serves perfectly for breakfast. It is quick and easy with only a few ingredients. I use coconut milk and mix coconut oil with butter for my own health. Most of the French toast recipes use butter and regular milk. Chef John from the All Recipes has a secret, which is to bake the French toast to finish the recipe. I love this idea and will try it today.

Ingredients:
4 to 6 slices of day-old bread,
 2 eggs
 1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp salt
1 tbs coconut oil
1 tbs butter or margarine

Directions:
In a mixing bowl, whisk coconut milk and eggs with added vanilla and cinnamon.

 Add bread slices to the egg mixture and let them soak for 10 minutes.

Heat a skillet with coconut and butter. Fry the bread slices for 2 minutes on each side.


Preheat oven to 350° and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Arrange the fried bread slices onto the baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Serve with fresh fruit. Sprinkle the French toast with powdered sugar or honey, your choice.
