It’s French toast, what can we say? Well, we can say it soars when you dip Challah bread in coconut milk!
Ingredients
- Cream cheese for spreading
- 4 1½-inch-thick slices Challah
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/3 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- Mixed berries
- maple syrup
Servings:
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°.
- Heat a large skillet over medium-low heat. While the skillet is heating, spread a layer of cream cheese on 2 slices of bread, then top each one with the other 2 pieces of Challah to make a sandwich.
- Whisk together the eggs, cream, coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla in a large bowl. Transfer the mixture to a large baking dish and soak the sandwiches in the mixture for about 30 second on each side, allowing them to absorb the custard.
- Melt the butter in the hot skillet. Add the sandwiches and cook until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes. Transfer to a baking sheet and cook in the oven for another 5 minutes.
- Cut the French toast on the diagonal to make four triangles. Place two pieces on each plate. Top with a small handful of berries and some real maple syrup.
