Coconut French Toast With Spiced Roasted Pineapple Recipes

COCONUT FRENCH TOAST WITH SPICED ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs, coconut milk and vanilla together in a wide, shallow bowl. Dunk the brioche slices into the mixture, letting each sit in the bowl for 1-2 mins on each side to soak up the liquid. The mixture should be completely absorbed by the brioche before cooking.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. To prepare the pineapple, cut away the skin, leaves and any eyes, then slice the flesh into long, chunky pieces (you'll need about three per person). Cut out the tough core and discard. Place the pineapple pieces in a small baking dish, drizzle over the maple syrup and sprinkle with allspice. Roast for 15 mins, turning halfway through and brushing with the sticky syrup in the dish.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan over a low-medium heat until foaming. Scatter the desiccated coconut over a plate, and dip in each side of the soaked brioche slices to coat. (The bread will be very delicate, so do this carefully.) Cook the brioche slices for 3-4 mins on each side until golden and cooked through. Divide between two plates, then top each with a dollop of yogurt, three of the roasted pineapple pieces, then drizzle over any juices from the roasting tin.

COCONUT CREAM FRENCH TOAST

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.

SPICED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Mix 3 tbsp of the butter with half the cinnamon and mash together. Beat together the egg, milk and remaining cinnamon. Sandwich 2 slices of hot cross bun together with half the cinnamon butter and repeat with the remaining two slices.
• Dip in the egg mix and leave to soak for a few secs. Heat the butter in a frying pan until foaming. Cook the hot cross buns for 1-2 mins each side until light golden (you may need to do this in two batches). Press down on them as you cook. Serve each portion topped with a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of maple syrup, if you like.

SPICED FRENCH TOAST WITH ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200. Whisk together milk, eggs, sugar, oragne zest, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a large shallow dish. Dip bread slices in egg mixture, coating each side and letting the excess drip off. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add butter. When butter foams, place a single layer of soaked bread slices in the pan and cook until golden brown on one side, about 3 minutes; flip to brown the other side, about 3 minutes more. Place the cooked French toast on an ovenproof plate or baking sheet and keep warm in the oven while you finish cooking the rest. To serve, place two or three slices of French toast and several slices of roasted pineapple on each plate. (Reserve extra pineapple for another use.) Spoon spiced pineapple juices over the top and, depending on your mood, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
