INGREDIENTS
For French Toast
  • 1 cup coconut milk
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 2 tablespoons garam masala (see recipe)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 8 ½-inch slices day-old or stale brioche or challah bread
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 sprigs fresh mint (optional)
​For Bourbon Mango Compote
  • 1 large ripe mango, diced
  • ½ teaspoon freshly grated ginger
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 6 tablespoons cane sugar
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • ½ cup bourbon
  • ¼-½ cup water

​TO PREPARE

Dice mangoes into roughly ½-inch or smaller cubes and toss with ginger, sugar and flour in a small bowl until evenly coated. Set aside to macerate.

In a medium size bowl, whisk together coconut milk and eggs. Once combined and frothy, add sugar, garam masala, vanilla and salt, mixing until thoroughly incorporated. Pour custard mixture into a pie pan or shallow baking dish, and set aside.

In a small saucepan combine macerated mangoes, vanilla, bourbon and half of the water.

Cook over medium heat until mixture begins to bubble, then reduce heat to low and continue cooking until mixture thickens slightly and mangoes begin to soften. (If compote becomes too thick, slowly add more water, up to ¼ cup). Dip bread into custard mixture, soaking 15–20 seconds on each side, or just long enough to saturate.

Over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch pan.

Place 2 slices of bread at a time into the pan and cook until golden brown, approximately 2 to 3 minutes per side.

Repeat with all 8 slices.

Serve warm with mango compote spooned over the top, and garnish with fresh mint if desired.
