COCONUT-ALMOND FRENCH TOAST CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Lightly butter a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish.
• For the French toast: Lay the bread slices in one layer (it's OK if they overlap a little) on a baking sheet. Bake the slices (to dry them out a little) for 6 minutes, then flip and bake for 6 minutes more. Set aside to cool.
• Whisk together the eggs, half-and-half, granulated sugar, vanilla, cinnamon and salt in a large bowl. Dunk each bread slice in the egg mixture to coat thoroughly and shingle the slices in the buttered casserole dish. Pour any remaining egg mixture over the bread. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight.
• For the coconut-almond crust: Put 1/2 cup of the coconut, 1/3 cup of the almonds, granulated sugar, flour and salt in a food processor and process until very fine. Add the butter, egg and egg yolk and process well to form a smooth paste.
• To assemble the casserole: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Spread the coconut-almond mixture evenly over the soaked bread slices. Top with the remaining 1/4 cup sliced almonds and 3 tablespoons coconut and bake until puffed and lightly golden and the custard is set (the center of the casserole will no longer jiggle when shaken), 45 to 50 minutes. Allow to cool for 1 hour before serving, or serve at room temperature.
• Serve with a sprinkling of powdered sugar and berries if using.

COCONUT CREAM STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Cut the bread into 5 thick slices, each about 2-inches thick. Split the top of each slice open in the middle, creating a pocket. Stuff each pocket with 1/2 cup of the Coconut Cream Cheese Filling. Dip each piece of stuffed toast into the French Toast Batter, coating completely.
• Add 2 teaspoons of the oil to a pan set over medium heat. Place some pieces of the toast into the hot pan and cook until brown on both sides and heated through in the middle, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Repeat for the remaining toast, adding more oil as needed to the pan.
• Transfer the raspberry puree to a squeeze bottle. Drizzle some raspberry puree in a circle on each serving plate. Sprinkle some strawberries on top. Cut the French toast slices in half on the bias and shingle 2 halves on each serving plate.
• Cut the bananas in half lengthwise and then split in half again widthwise. Place the bananas cut-side up on a sheet tray. Sprinkle the bananas with the granulated sugar to coat. Using the torch, melt the sugar until golden in color. Carefully place 3 pieces of banana on each plate next to the French toast.
• Sprinkle the coconut on the plates, then dust each with cinnamon and confectioners' sugar and serve with maple syrup.
• In a large mixing bowl, using an electric mixer, whisk together the cream cheese and mascarpone. Add in the shredded coconut, honey, coconut extract and vanilla extract, and mix until combined.
• Crack the eggs into a large mixing bowl and beat with a wire whisk. Add the milk, cream, brown sugar, cinnamon, almond extract, vanilla extract and nutmeg, and mix together until combined. Refrigerate until needed.

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in skillet over medium heat until it ripples.
• Dredge a slice of bread in the egg mixture, then in the coconut mixture and add it to the oil in the pan. Flip when bottom is nicely browned, and brown the other side.

COCONUT FRENCH TOAST WITH SPICED ROASTED PINEAPPLE

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs, coconut milk and vanilla together in a wide, shallow bowl. Dunk the brioche slices into the mixture, letting each sit in the bowl for 1-2 mins on each side to soak up the liquid. The mixture should be completely absorbed by the brioche before cooking.
• Heat the oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. To prepare the pineapple, cut away the skin, leaves and any eyes, then slice the flesh into long, chunky pieces (you'll need about three per person). Cut out the tough core and discard. Place the pineapple pieces in a small baking dish, drizzle over the maple syrup and sprinkle with allspice. Roast for 15 mins, turning halfway through and brushing with the sticky syrup in the dish.
• Meanwhile, melt the butter in a frying pan over a low-medium heat until foaming. Scatter the desiccated coconut over a plate, and dip in each side of the soaked brioche slices to coat. (The bread will be very delicate, so do this carefully.) Cook the brioche slices for 3-4 mins on each side until golden and cooked through. Divide between two plates, then top each with a dollop of yogurt, three of the roasted pineapple pieces, then drizzle over any juices from the roasting tin.
