Coconut Cream French Toast

Directions

- 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.
Footnotes
