Saturday Breakfast: Coconut French Toast

This was a random inspiration that struck me this morning since we didn't really have much in the fridge for a nice weekend breakfast. The results were most satisfying.

1 egg
1/4 cup heavy cream
1/2 tsp vanilla
1 Tbs sugar
unsweetened shredded coconut
sliced bread (I used two large, thick slices of pain de compagne. That was enough for the two of us).
butter, for cooking

Beat the egg with the cream, vanilla, and sugar. Soak the bread in the egg mixture, then dredge through the coconut and cook in butter over medium heat. Cover the pan while cooking and make sure that the coconut doesn't burn.

Serve dusted with powdered sugar.
