Coconut Cream Stuffed French Toast Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Coconut Filling

   In a bowl, mix the coconut cream cheese and flaked coconut until well combined. Set aside.

2. 2

   Make the Egg Mixture

   In another bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.

3. 3

   Stuff the Bread

   Take one slice of challah bread, spread a generous amount of the coconut filling on one side, and top with another slice to create a sandwich. Repeat with remaining bread and filling.

4. 4

   Dip the Sandwiches

   Heat a skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt 1 tbsp of butter. Dip each stuffed sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

5. 5

   Cook the French Toast

   Place the dipped sandwiches on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Add more butter as needed.

6. 6

   Brûléed Bananas

   While the French toast is cooking, slice bananas and sauté them in a separate pan with sugar until caramelized and golden.

7. 7

   Serve

   Plate the French toast, garnish with diced strawberries, brûléed bananas, a sprinkle of cinnamon, and a dusting of powdered sugar. Serve warm.
