Description
This French toast recipe with sourdough skips the added sugar. Ghee and coconut milk lend extra benefits including vitamins and healthy fats.
Ingredients
Scale
- ½ loaf crusty sourdough bread
- 5 eggs
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon cinnamon
- 6 tablespoons ghee
Instructions
- Slice the bread into 8 slices.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla and cinnamon. Drench the bread in the mixture, allowing it to soak for 2 minutes per piece.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon of ghee to the skillet.
- Working in batches of 1–2 slices each, fry the drenched bread until crispy, 3–4 minutes per side. Add more ghee to the skillet in between batches.
- Serve hot with butter and maple syrup or fruit.
Notes
- Top with the fruit of your choosing for some added flavor and another boost of vitamins and minerals.
- If you don’t have sourdough on hand, you can of course use this same recipe by swapping in another type of bread.
