1. 1Heat a large skillet to medium.
2. 2Whisk the milk, eggs, salt, vanilla extract, sugar, cayenne pepper, and nutmeg together in a baking dish or large bowl.
3. 3Pour the coconut onto a plate.
4. 4Pour enough oil in the skillet to completely coat the bottom. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture for 15-20 seconds per side.
5. 5Then dip the slices in the coconut on both sides for an even coat. When the oil is hot, start frying one slice as a test batch. Cook for 1 minute per side. Watch for a crispy golden-brown crust.
6. 6The coconut may turn a deep brown, but avoid BLACK! If the coconut burns before the crust has formed, turn the heat down a little.
7. 7Add more oil as needed and continue with the rest of the bread.
8. 8Serve warm with maple syrup and berries!
