INGREDIENTS
- 40g butter
- 1/4 cup (55g) brown sugar
- 1/2 ripe pineapple, peeled, halved, cored, thickly sliced
- 2 eggs, lightly whisked
- 1/2 cup (125ml) coconut milk
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 8 slices panettone
- Maple syrup, to serve

METHOD
Step 1
Melt half the butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Sprinkle 1 tablespoonful of the sugar over both sides of the pineapple. Add half the pineapple to the pan and cook for 1-2 minutes each side or until pineapple caramelises. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with remaining pineapple.
Step 2
Whisk together the eggs, coconut milk, cinnamon and remaining sugar in a medium shallow bowl until well combined. Melt the remaining butter in the pan. Dip 2 slices of panettone into the egg mixture and cook for 1-2 minutes each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate. Continue in 3 more batches with remaining egg mixture and panettone.
Step 3
Arrange French toast among serving plates. Top with pineapple, drizzle with maple syrup and sprinkle with lime leaves.
