100 years ago they invented the first electrical toaster in the USA. This small kitchen appliance became a must in each house when the English breakfast became so à la mode. Then the French toast invasion changed everything and we began to pan-fry the white slices of bread, with actual higher risks of too fats in our diet. This recipe excerpted from Sunset magazine
calls "for baking the toast instead of pan-frying it. This not only eliminates excess fat but also makes cleanup easy."
Tropical French Toast
Serves 4.
Ingredients:
3 large eggs
cup orange juice
3 tablespoons lime juice
cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon coconut extract
8 slices French bread (cut diagonally from loaf), each about 1/2 inch thick
cup sweetened flaked coconut
Tropical topping (recipe follows)
Whole strawberries, rinsed and drained (optional)
Directions:
In a wide bowl, beat together eggs, orange juice, lime juice, powdered sugar, and coconut extract until well blended.
Dip each piece of bread in egg mixture, turning to saturate both sides. Arrange slices in a single layer on a lightly greased 12- by 15-inch baking sheet. Sprinkle tops of slices evenly with half the coconut. Lightly press coconut onto bread.
Bake bread in a 400 deg oven until coconut is lightly browned, about 10 minutes. With a wide spatula, turn slices over. Sprinkle evenly with remaining coconut. Continue baking until slices are puffed and coconut and bread are lightly browned, about 10 minutes longer.
Transfer slices to individual plates; allow 2 per serving. Spoon topping over bread, dividing it evenly among plates. Garnish with whole strawberries.
Per serving:276 cal.; 8.6g protein; 9.3g fat; 40g carbo.; 288 mg sodium; 160 mg chol.
Tropical topping. Peel, seed, and coarsely chop 1 large (about 1 lb.) ripe papaya. Peel and slice 2 medium-size (about 3/4 lb. total) firm-ripe bananas. In a bowl, gently mix papaya, banana, 1 1/2 cups hulled and sliced strawberries, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 1/2 tablespoons lime juice, and 1 tablespoon orange-flavor liqueur (optional). If made ahead, cover and chill up to 2 hours.
