COCONUT SESAME FRENCH TOAST

French Toast Tuesday. That's what I'll be doing every week. I don't know but, French toasts are becoming my new favourite breakfast option. You can literally top the french toast with jam, honey, fruit, maple syrup or sugar for a sweet dessert or making savoury with your favourite sauce like ketchup, mustard or chilli sauce. If you want dairy free french toast, you can use orange juice, wine or rose water to soak the bread before frying. I love wholewheat bread because it is not only healthy but dense and will soak up the liquid without breaking apart. I like the French because they eat the toast as a dessert not as breakfast like most of us do, well, they did invent it so they decide how to eat the french toast. 

INGREDIENTS

4 Slices Wholewheat Bread
4 Tablespoons Desiccated Coconut
2 Tablespoon Sesame Seeds
3 Eggs
1 Cup Milk

METHOD

Beat the eggs and add salt

Pour in the milk and stir

Dip one piece of bread into the milk egg mixture

Dip the second side and let excess liquid fall off

Heat a non stick pan with butter and place the slice of bread. Let it cook until golden brown

Flip the bread and cook the second side too until golden brown

Place on a plate lined with a kitchen paper towel to keep warm as you cook the rest of the french toast
