BAKED COCONUT FRENCH TOAST – The Southern Lady Cooks

Baked French Toast is so easy to make and we love this coconut version.

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We are big fans of French toast but sometimes when you are making it for a larger group, it takes a bit of time. This baked version really comes in handy since you can put it all on a baking sheet and it’s done at the same time. If you have followed us for any amount of time, we are big fans of coconut so this version was a win.

SWAPS

We love the vanilla extract in this recipe, but you can easily substitute it. Almond extract would be delicious too, or consider making a different version and using lemon. Strawberries to garnish were what we had on hand, but any fruit would be a great addition.

⭐TIP

This French toast is super versatile; you could easily make this without the coconut and top it with pecans and powdered sugar, blueberries and honey, or any topping you prefer. It’s an excellent base recipe that you can do a great deal with.

• 4 slices of bread
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 cup of whipping cream
• 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
• 1.5 cups of sweetened shredded coconut may need more if you love coconut
• Strawberries to garnish optional

• Grease a baking sheet and preheat oven to 475. Beat eggs together in a bowl, add whipping cream, cinnamon and vanilla together. Mix together well. Lay a slice of bread in mixture, make sure it soaks evenly on both sides. Coat with coconut on both sides and put on baking sheet. Continue with all slices of bread.

• Bake for 5 minutes and removed and flip to other side and bake another 5 minutes. Remove and cut into triangle slices. Top with strawberries and syrup. You could also add powdered sugar.

I greased the pan and then put down some shredded coconut for my slice of bread. It was difficult to coat each side with coconut, so I put some down on the pan, set my soaked slice on it and then coated the top of the piece with coconut.
