Preparation

Step 1

Whisk eggs, coconut milk, brown sugar, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a shallow 3 quart baking dish.

Heat 1 tsp veg oil in 12-in non stick skillet.

Soak 4 slices of bread in egg mixture, letting excess drip off. Sprinkle each slice with 2 Tbsp coconut; press to adhere.

Cook 4 minutes or until bottom of bread is a deep golden brown. Gently turn slices over and cook 2 more minutes. Transfer to parchment-lined cookie sheet and keep warm in 300 degree oven.

Repeat with 4 more slices of bread, adding 1 tsp of veg oil if needed.

Serve with mixed berries, sugar, and maple syrup if desired.
