Coquito French Toast
There’s so much to love about this French toast. I used the beloved Coquito (Puerto Rican eggnog) in place of milk.
If you don’t know what Coquito is, it’s a Puerto Rican eggnog like drink prepared with coconut milk and is traditionally served on Nochebuena (Christmas Eve). There are many variations to this drink, but the base ingredients are always the same: coconut milk, sweet condensed milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and Caribbean Rum. My best friend @jissettemarie_ makes a damn good Coquito so if you’re in Miami and want to buy a bottle, hit her up!
