Coconut French Toast
Get that B&B vibe at home with this easy baked Coconut French Toast recipe from The Mooring B&B! Prepare it the night before, and simply pop it into a pre-heated oven the next morning. Serves 10-12 people.
Ingredients
- 1 loaf good Italian or French bread, thickly sliced
- 3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 tsp coconut extract
- 1 cup unsweetened coconut milk (about half a can)
- 1 3/4 cups milk
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 4 tbsp cold butter, cut into chunks
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 1/3 cup chopped pecans (optional)
Instructions
- Spray a 10×14 inch baking dish with cooking spray. Fit bread slices into pan, not leaving too much room between slices.
- Beat eggs, sugar, extract and milks together. Ladle mixture over bread in pan, making sure that each slice is soaked. Cover with foil and refrigerate overnight.
- Mix together flour and brown sugar; cut in butter until mixture resembles peas. Stir in coconut and nuts. Top bread slices with the crumb mixture.
- Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes, or until topping browns and edges of bread are beginning to crisp.
Sweet & Spicy Sausages

Ingredients
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 2 tbsp chili powder
- 1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1/2 tsp ground cardamom
- 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 tsp anise seeds
- 1 package breakfast sausage links (thawed if frozen)
Instructions
- Mix the sugar and spices together and store in an airtight container.
- When you’re ready to serve the sausage, roll the links in the sugar and spice mixture; arrange in a baking dish and bake in a preheated 350-400 degree oven for 10 or 15 minutes, or until cooked through (if fresh) and nicely browned, turning halfway through baking time so they brown evenly.
