Hello long weekend, we meet again! We’ve been having a great time hunting for and coloring eggs. The kids have been plotting ways to catch that sneaky Bunny too! Of course there’s been a lot of eating as well. We’ve got a brunch planned and this dish is perfect for holiday weekends with family. Since the weather is finally warming up I thought I’d go with a tropical Coconut version of my usual overnight French toast. I love this method of making breakfast. All prep is done ahead of time which is a major plus. Simply bake for an hour in the morning, sip your coffee and enjoy that day off!
Coconut Overnight French Toast
Ingredients
- 1 loaf French bread
- 8 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup light or heavy cream
- 1 cup cream of coconut, found with the mixed drinks at the store
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp coconut extract
- ¾ cup sugar
- ½ cup flaked coconut
Instructions
- Tear or cut a loaf of French bread in large pieces. Place them all in a 9x13 casserole dish that has been sprayed or buttered.
- Crack the eggs in a large bowl and whisk. Add remaining ingredients and pour over the bread pieces.
- Cover with foil and leave to sit over night in the fridge.
- In the morning preheat the oven to 350.
- Leave the foil on and bake for 30 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 30 minutes.
Straight out of the fridge. Already looking good!
Yum!! Anything with coconut scores big points in my books! Saying hi from FBC!
