Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 slice bread, your choice
2 large eggs
1/2 c pina colada drink mix
ORANGE SYRUP
1/2 c granulated sugar
1/2 c water
2 Tbsp orange marmalade (heaping spoonfuls)
2 Tbsp frozen orange juice concentrate, undiluted (heaping spoonfuls)

Steps:

  • 1. In a small saucepan, heat sugar and water to boiling, stirring until dissolved. Stir in marmalade and juice. Continue to boil for 1-2 minutes then remove from heat. Place in a serving container.
  • 2. Heat skillet. Spray with nonstick or melt butter.
  • 3. In a bowl, whisk eggs and pina colada mix together.
  • 4. Dip bread slices in the mixture coating both sides.
  • 5. Place coated bread in prepared skillet.
  • 6. Cook to golden brown on both sides. Then remove to a plate.
  • 7. Serve toast with banana slices, orange syrup, and shredded coconut if desired.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread for a better texture. The bread will absorb the egg mixture more evenly, resulting in a more evenly cooked and flavorful French toast.
  • Make sure the pan is hot enough before adding the French toast. This will help prevent the bread from sticking.
  • Cook the French toast over medium heat. This will help prevent the bread from burning.
  • Flip the French toast only once. Flipping it too often can make the bread dry and tough.
  • Serve the French toast with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream.

Conclusion:

This pina colada French toast is a delicious and refreshing way to start your day. The bread is golden brown and crispy on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. The pineapple and coconut flavors are perfectly balanced, and the rum adds a subtle hint of sweetness. Serve this French toast with your favorite toppings, such as butter, syrup, fruit, or whipped cream, and enjoy!
