Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.

  2. 2

    Dip the Bread

    Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each slice of brioche bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.

  3. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    Place the soaked brioche slices onto the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add more butter as needed.

  4. 4

    Add Pineapple and Coconut

    In the last minute of cooking, place a slice of pineapple on top of each piece of French toast and sprinkle with coconut flakes. Cover the skillet briefly to warm the pineapple and toast the coconut.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Serve the French toast warm, drizzled with maple syrup and sprinkled with powdered sugar.
