Description

Sweet French toast gets a tropical twist with pineapple and coconut. A simple rum syrup adds a boozy kick.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 6 slices whole grain bread
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tsp rum extract
  • 3 tbsp pineapple juice
  • 2 tbsp toasted coconut
  • 2 tbsp crushed or chopped pineapple
  • 1/4 cup agave nectar
  • 2 tbsp dark rum
  • 1 tsp coconut extract

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the coconut milk, pineapple juice, rum extract, and egg.
  2. Dip each slice of bread in the mixture.
  3. Cook on a hot skillet over medium-high heat until golden and crisp on the outside.
  4. Arrange on a plate and top with coconut and pineapple.

For the syrup

  1. Mix the agave nectar, rum, and extract in a small container, and pour over toast as desired.

Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use brioche or challah bread instead of whole grain.
  • If you don’t have rum extract, substitute with 1 teaspoon of rum and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  • Store leftover French toast in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a pan or toaster oven.
