Steps:
- Generously butter large roasting pan. Arrange bread in single layer in prepared pan, fitting closely together. Beat half and half, eggs, cinnamon and nutmeg to blend in medium bowl. Pour egg mixture over bread. Cover pan and refrigerate until bread absorbs mixture, turning once, about 3 hours. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Keep refrigerated.)
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Uncover pan and bake French toast until tester inserted into center of bread comes out clean, about 30 minutes.
- Meanwhile, stir orange juice and cornstarch in small saucepan until smooth. Add sugar and stir over medium heat until thick, about 8 minutes. Add butter, lemon juice and orange peel and stir until butter melts.
- Recut French toast into 8 separate slices. Serve with warm orange syrup.
Tips:
- Use day-old bread for your French toast, as it will absorb the custard better and result in a more flavorful and crispy dish.
- If you don't have coconut cream, you can substitute it with heavy cream or whole milk. However, coconut cream will give your French toast a richer and more authentic flavor.
- To make sure your French toast is cooked evenly, use a non-stick skillet and cook it over medium heat.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking your French toast, or it will steam instead of fry and become soggy.
- Serve your pina colada French toast immediately with orange syrup and your favorite toppings, such as fresh pineapple, coconut flakes, or whipped cream.
Conclusion:
Pina colada French toast is a delicious and tropical twist on a classic breakfast dish. It's easy to make and perfect for a special brunch or weekend breakfast. The combination of pineapple, coconut, and orange flavors is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a unique and flavorful breakfast recipe, give pina colada French toast a try!
