Ingredient Notes
This recipe uses 1 cup of fresh coconut milk for creaminess, 2 tablespoons of red curry paste for a burst of flavor, 1 pound of crusty sourdough bread, and 1/2 cup of fresh basil for a refreshing finish. Substitute the bread with gluten-free options if needed, and adjust the curry paste based on your spice preference.
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Spread the red curry paste evenly on each slice of sourdough bread, coating it generously.
- Pour the coconut milk into a bowl and dip each slice of prepared bread until well soaked.
- Place the bread slices onto the baking sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes, until edges are crispy and golden.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh basil before serving, adding a touch of freshness.
Things I’ve Learned
Keep an eye on the bread while baking to prevent burning. If storing leftovers, place them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. For reheating, place the toast in a toaster oven or regular oven to retain crunchiness. This dish can be made ahead by preparing the toast and stored in the fridge, to bake fresh flavor on brunch day.
