Quick recipe finder Coconut French toast with griddled mango
By James Tanner From Ready Steady Cook
Ingredients
For the coconut French toast
- 6 tbsp coconut cream
- 1 free-range egg, beaten
- 2 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 vanilla pod, seeds only
- ¼ tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 slices baguette or other bread
- 2 tsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp butter
For the griddled mango
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- ½ mango, peeled, stone removed and scored
- ½ red chilli, finely chopped
- 1 tbsp honey
Method
Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6.
Place the coconut cream, egg, sugar, vanilla seeds and cinnamon into a bowl and mix well.
Dip the bread into the egg mixture to completely coat.
Heat the vegetable oil and butter in a non-stick frying pan and fry the bread until golden-brown on both sides.
Meanwhile, for the mango, heat a griddle pan. Sprinkle the brown sugar over the mango and griddle cut-side down for 3-4 minutes until golden. Turn over, then transfer the pan to the oven and cook for 2-3 minutes. Add the chilli and honey and cook for a further 2-3 minutes.
To serve, place the French toast onto a plate and top with the caramelised mango.
