Ingredients

What do you need?

Quantity: 4P

8 slices of toast, whole grain sourdough is my preference
3 large eggs
Pinch of salt
400 ml milk
Vanilla pod
6 tbsp coconut blossom sugar
Coconut oil for frying
Powdered sugar for finishing

Preparation method

How do you make this?

Make the egg mixture
Beat the eggs with a pinch of salt, 2 tbsp of coconut blossom sugar, and the scraped vanilla pod in a bowl.

Add the milk
Pour the milk into a separate bowl.

Soak the bread
Dip the slices of bread one by one first in the milk, letting them soak well, then dip in the egg mixture so both sides are fully coated.

Cooking
Heat a pan with a knob of coconut oil. Sprinkle each slice with coconut blossom sugar (sugar side down) and cook until golden brown. Sprinkle some sugar on top as well, flip, and cook the other side.

Finishing
Place the French toast on a plate and dust with powdered sugar. Preferably serve with fresh seasonal fruit or some yogurt, or simply as Sofie Dumont enjoys it — with a cup of coffee.

Tips

Use day-old bread, it will absorb the mixture better.
Sprinkle the sugar on the bread just before cooking to prevent it from caramelizing too quickly.
Cook over medium heat so the French toast doesn’t burn but cooks through nicely.
Use coconut oil for that subtle warm aroma that complements the coconut blossom sugar.
Serve the French toast with fresh fruit (berries, banana, apple) or some Greek yogurt for extra freshness.
