Villa 525 French Toast
- 4 slices of your favorite bread for French Toast (not too sour but with some substance), 1/2 - 3/4 inch slices...or to your liking
- 4 eggs
- 2 bananas
- 2/3 cup coconut milk (I use the full fat kind)
- 3/4 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 tablespoon best quality dark rum
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- zest of a whole lime
- tiny pinch of salt
- knob of butter and a splash of olive oil to fry in
- With the exception of the bread, butter, and oil, put everything in the blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a large shallow pan (I used an ancient Pyrex) and soak bread (turning to penetrate both sides) for at least 30 minutes and up to an hour.
- Melt a bit of butter and a splash of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over medium high heat and add soaked bread (in two batches) and fry till golden brown on both sides, adjusting heat when necessary. Serve with your choice of syrup.
