How to Make Pina Colada French Toast
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/3 cup pineapple juice, 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract, and 1 large egg white until light and frothy.
- Dip bread slices (about 2 slices of your favorite bread, e.g., challah, brioche) into the egg white mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.
- Melt 1 teaspoon of margarine in a preheated nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat.
- Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of shredded coconut into the pan.
- Add the soaked bread slices to the skillet and sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of shredded coconut.
- Dot the top of the bread with the remaining 1 teaspoon of margarine.
- Cook the French toast for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping carefully to avoid breakage.
- While the French toast cooks, prepare the Pina Colada sauce (see below).
- **Pina Colada Sauce:** In a small saucepan, whisk together 1/2 cup pineapple juice, 1 tablespoon cornstarch, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar until the cornstarch is fully dissolved.
- Cook over medium heat, whisking constantly, until the sauce comes to a boil and thickens (about 1-2 minutes).
- Remove from heat, stir in 1/4 teaspoon coconut extract, and cover to keep warm.
- Serve the Pina Colada French Toast immediately, spooning the warm sauce generously over each slice.
