The holidays are a great time for special breakfasts, especially quick and easy ones, and when GeorgiaZ posted this one in the forum and suggested it would be perfect with Grandmother Bread, I knew I had to try it! GeorgiaZ used to have a tea room and this was one of her popular dishes there. You can see her original recipe here. I made a few changes (of course! I can never resist!), starting with my homemade raisin bread.

How to make Tea Room Coconut Toast:
6 thick slices of Raisin Bread
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 egg, beaten
1 cup sugar
1 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped pecans, soaked in 1 teaspoon bourbon
Spread raisin bread slices in a greased 9×13 pan. (Depending on the size of your loaf, you might need 8-10 slices. My raisin bread makes large loaves so the slices are big. Use however many slices fill a 9×13 pan. If you’re using raisin bread from the store that comes in thin slices, double up by placing two thin slices in place of each fat homemade slice.)
Combine melted butter, vanilla, beaten egg, sugar, coconut, and bourbon-soaked chopped pecans in a medium-size bowl.
I had leftover bourbon-soaked nuts from making Bourbon Balls. You could use pecans soaked in anything you have on hand (rum, brandy, amaretto, etc). If you don’t have time to soak them in advance, just go ahead and toss the nuts with liquor and throw ‘em in there. We’re not picky here. If you prefer, you can even use plain chopped pecans with no alcohol at all.
Spread evenly over toast slices in pan.
Bake at 350-degrees for 15 minutes. Broil on high for one minute.
It is incredibly decadent, so tell everybody it was really hard to make!

Well now our coconut softball sits on our counter with no direction in life–this sounds like just the thing to motivate it to greatness!

Chill out!!!! Is that a cheritable attitude???? I am stunned at your harsh comments that are uncalled for. People are human and they make mistakes or over look something – I hope you dont treat your friends that way – bec I am afraid you might not have many if you are that rigid. I am sure Suzanne is busy and she might overlook something – ask again and have some grace.

I just looked at a segment online from Sandra Lee – the semin homemade lady. she made sugar cookie stained glass cookies in the oven for her tree. I think it is a past segment but thought of you. pretty cook idea too. also just came from WM and saw a rooster cooker jar for 9 down from 12.

This is probably the only recipe that doesn’t look good to me – lol. Sorry, but I’m just not a shredded coconut fan
I was one of those kids that didn’t like anything with a funny texture (like tapica lol). I’ve outgrown most of them but unfortunately not coconut.
You can’t please all the people all the time but it seems like you can’t please some people anytime. :mrgreen:

I hope you don’t let Miss Lila get to you. You do such good things for the internet viewing audience (a/k/a your FANS).
You’re awesome and precious to us…I know that most of us feel like we are standing in the kitchen cooking along side you.
You rock!
