Ingredients

▢ 100 g unsalted butter 1 stick, softened
▢ 100 g granulated sugar
▢ 100 g sweetened shredded coconut
▢ 1 large egg
▢ 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
▢ 8 slices white sandwich bread

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350°F / 180°C (325°F convection / 160°C fan). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange 8 slices white sandwich bread in a single layer.
In a large bowl, mix 100 g unsalted butter, softened, 100 g granulated sugar, and 100 g sweetened shredded coconut until combined.
Add 1 large egg and 1 tsp vanilla extract, then stir until the mixture is creamy and evenly mixed.
Spread the coconut mixture evenly over the 8 slices white sandwich bread, making sure to cover the surface from edge to edge.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the topping is golden and lightly crisp around the edges.
Let the coconut toast cool for a few minutes before serving warm.

Notes

Use Softened Butter: I like to let the butter soften completely before mixing because it creates a smoother topping that spreads easily over the bread.

Spread Evenly: For the most even bake, I make sure the coconut mixture covers each slice from edge to edge so every bite gets that golden topping.

Watch the Baking Time: I usually start checking the toast after 15 minutes since the coconut can brown quickly during the last few minutes in the oven.

Leave Some Texture on Top: I sometimes leave a few strands of coconut slightly raised instead of smoothing everything flat because they become extra crisp and golden.

Store and Reheat: I store any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge and warm them for a few minutes before serving.
