- 3 large Eggs

- 2 Tablespoons Brown Sugar
- ½ tsp Cinnamon
- 1 pinch Nutmeg

Instructions
- In a wide medium bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar. Add the shredded coconut and mix again.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
- Dip a slice of bread in the egg mixture on both sides and place onto the hot skillet. Cook for about 1-2 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook until the other side is golden. Repeat with all of the slices of bread.
How to Make Coconut Syrup
- In a large pot, add the sugar, buttermilk, butter, corn syrup, baking soda, and coconut extract. Bring to a boil, then continue to boil for about 7 minutes while stirring constantly.
- When the syrup starts to turn from a whitish color to a golden color, it's done! Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
