Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 3 eggs; 3/4 cup coconut milk; 2 tablespoons dark brown sugar; 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom; 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper (optional, for the adventurous); 1/8 teaspoon ground anise seed (optional, for the adventurous); 3 tablespoons butter (melted); pinch salt; 5 slices of bread, preferably potato, preferably a little stale (or toasted at the lowest setting for a few minutes)

Servings: persons

3 eggs
3/4 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper (optional, for the adventurous)
1/8 teaspoon ground anise seed (optional, for the adventurous)
3 tablespoons butter (melted)
pinch salt
5 slices of bread, preferably potato, preferably a little stale (or toasted at the lowest setting for a few minutes)

1
Add everything but the bread to a blender and blend until homogenous. You can also whisk them together if you like -- just make sure the spice clumps get broken up. Pour into a shallow dish like a square cake pan or casserole dish.
2
Soak the slices of bread in the egg mixture until they get nice and wet all the way through. Flip them over to make sure both sides get even distribution. Handle the bread gingerly at this point, as it's going to want to break up.
3
Once the slices of bread have had a few minutes to soak on both sides, heat up a nonstick pan to a nice medium heat. Once the pan has reached temperature, melt some butter in it. Throw the slices of bread on there and cook them for 3 to 4 minutes per side. When you flip them, make sure you're gentle.
4
The brown sugar should make the French toast sweet enough that you won't need syrup, but if that's your jam, go for it. You can totally serve these with some fresh mango, or berries if you like.
