Ingredients:

• 8 eggs
• 3 cups milk
• 6 tsp cinnamon
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1 cup coconut flakes
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup sweet creamy butter
• 2 tbsp rum
• 1/2 cup apricot jam
• Cool Whip (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Praline Rum Syrup:

   • In a saucepan, melt the sweet creamy butter over medium heat.
   • Add the brown sugar, stirring continuously until it dissolves and caramelizes slightly.
   • Pour in the orange juice and rum, allowing the mixture to simmer lightly until it thickens into a luxurious syrup.
   • Remove the syrup from the heat and set it aside.

2. Prepare the French Toast:

   • Begin by slicing each bread slice horizontally, creating a pocket in the middle.
   • Gently spread a teaspoon of apricot jam into each pocket, ensuring even distribution.
   • In a pie plate, whisk together the eggs, milk, cinnamon, and nutmeg until well combined.
   • Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s coated on both sides without becoming overly saturated.
   • Next, coat the soaked bread slices with coconut flakes, pressing lightly to adhere the flakes to both sides.

3. Cook the French Toast:

   • Heat a lightly oiled pan over medium heat until it’s preheated.
   • Carefully place the coated bread slices in the pan, frying them until they turn golden brown on both sides, ensuring they’re cooked through.

4. Serve:

   • Once the French toast is cooked to perfection, serve it hot with a generous dollop of Cool Whip on top.
   • Drizzle the luscious Praline Rum Syrup over the French toast, allowing it to cascade down the sides, adding a touch of sweetness and elegance to each bite.
