For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of ground cinnamon or nutmeg to the custard mixture. If you don't have egg substitute on hand, you can use an equal amount of lightly beaten eggs. To prevent the coconut from burning, you can tent the baking dish with foil during the last 10 minutes of baking. Serve warm with a drizzle of maple syrup or a dusting of powdered sugar for an elegant touch.

Follow The Directions
01
StepLightly coat the inside of a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. (2 minutes)
02
StepArrange the French bread slices in a single layer within the prepared dish. (5 minutes)
03
StepIn a mixing bowl, whisk together the coconut milk, egg substitute, sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined. Pour the mixture evenly over the bread slices, ensuring each slice is thoroughly coated. Flip the slices to saturate both sides. (10 minutes)
04
StepCover the baking dish tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for a minimum of 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the bread to fully absorb the custard. (8 hours)
05
StepPreheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Remove the plastic wrap from the baking dish. (5 minutes)
06
StepGently turn the bread slices over and sprinkle the sweetened flaked coconut evenly over the top. Allow the dish to stand at room temperature for 15 minutes before baking to ensure even cooking. (15 minutes)
07
StepBake in the preheated oven for approximately 30 minutes, or until the egg mixture is set and the coconut topping is beautifully golden brown. (30 minutes)

Apr 25, 2025The bread got a little soggy on the bottom. Next time, I'll try using slightly stale bread.

Mar 29, 2025I used almond milk instead of coconut milk and it turned out great! A good option for those with coconut allergies.
