- Stale bread (baguette or French roll style)
- Eggs (whites)
- Eggs (yolks)
- Coconut milk
- Sweetened condensed milk
- Vanilla extract
- Whole milk
- 1pinch de Salt
- Vegetable oil

Instructions
Slice the stale bread into thick pieces.
Dica: Do not use fresh bread.
Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, where they don't fall out of the bowl, adding a pinch of salt to help with consistency.
Dica: The egg whites should be very stiff, like stiff peaks.
Add the egg yolks to the stiff egg whites, and then gently incorporate the coconut milk, sweetened condensed milk, vanilla extract, and whole milk. Carefully mix all the custard ingredients.
Heat the oil in a skillet to 350°F (180°C) for frying.
Dica: The oil temperature should be 350°F (180°C).
Quickly dip the bread slices into the liquid mixture, being careful not to over-soak them so they don't fall apart.
Dica: Do not soak the bread for too long, otherwise, it will tear.
Fry the French toast in the hot oil for about 3 minutes per side, until nicely golden brown.
While the French toast is frying, mix the sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt in a shallow dish.
Dica: Mixing these ingredients will help the sugar crystallize onto the hot French toast.
Remove the fried French toast from the oil and immediately transfer it to the sugar and cinnamon mixture while it is still hot, to coat.
Dica: The heat from the French toast helps the sugar coating crystallize.
