• 0.5 teaspoon ground pepper (less if sensitive to heat)
• 6 servings maple syrup pure for serving

• 1.5 cups coconut shredded sweetened
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 
• 1 cup milk whole

Equipment

• bowl

Directions

1. Heat a large skillet to medium.
2. Whisk the milk, eggs, salt, vanilla extract, sugar, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg together in a baking dish or large bowl.
3. Pour the coconut onto a plate.
4. Pour enough oil in the skillet to completely coat the bottom. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture for 15-20 seconds per side.Then dip the slices in the coconut on both sides for an even coat.When the oil is hot, start frying one slice as a test batch. Cook for 1 minute per side. Watch for a crispy golden-brown crust. The coconut may turn a deep brown, but avoid BLACK! If the coconut burns before the crust has formed, turn the heat down a little.
5. Add more oil as needed and continue with the rest of the bread.
6. Serve warm with maple syrup and berries!
