What a nice sweet start to the day, close your eyes, add a gentle warm breeze and you will transported to the Islands. The coconut and macadamia nuts are the prefect crunchy crust for the soft sweet Hawaiian bread. Made as written. Thanks so much for the post. -
This was really good. The macadamia nuts (which I so love!) and coconut give it a nice tropical touch, and it dresses up plain French Toast rather nicely. But I had a lot of trouble pefecting the cooking process. With the first, the bread was fine but the nutty topping burned. The second, the nutty layer was toasted nicely but the bread itself was hardly cooked. This is a recipe I'll try a few times so I get it right, because it really is a good recipe. Thanks, Lainey6605.
