Ingredients

1 can (13.66 ounces) coconut milk
2 eggs
1/2 cup orange juice
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon orange extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup flaked coconut, toasted, divided
8 slices white bakery bread (3/4-inch thick)
1/2 cup macadamia nuts, chopped and toasted
Maple syrup and orange slices, optional

Directions

In large bowl, whisk the coconut milk, eggs, orange juice, extracts and salt. Stir in 1/2 cup coconut. Place bread slices in a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. baking pan. Pour coconut milk mixture over bread; turn to coat. Let stand for 10 minutes.
Toast bread on a greased hot griddle over medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle with remaining coconut and macadamia nuts; keep warm. Serve with maple syrup and orange slices if desired. Yield: 4 servings.

Editor's Note: To toast coconut, spread in a 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake at 350° for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown, stirring frequently.
