Coquito french toast

---

Ingredients:

• brioche bread, sliced

• 1 1/2 cups coquito, sub eggnog but only 1 cup

• 2 1/2 tablespoons dark rum ( if not using coquito)

• 1/2 cup coconut milk ( if not using coquito)

• 3 large eggs

• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

• 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg

• 3 teaspoon vanilla extract

• 1/4 cup sugar

• butter (to butter the pan)

• pecans, for serving

• whipped cream, for serving

• maple syrup or honey, for serving

Instructions:

1. Beat eggs and coquito together. Add cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, vanilla and sugar.

2. Dip the bread slices into the mixture, allowing each side to sit for 1-2 minutes in the eggnog mixture. You may also leave the slices in the eggnog mixture overnight if you choose to.

3. When ready to cook the french toast, heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and coat generously with butter. When the skillet is hot, cook the french toast in batches (do not overcrowd) until golden and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side.

4. Remove and serve immediately with whipped cream, crushed walnuts and maple syrup/honey.

5. Enjoy!
