Crazy French Toast is a unique breakfast recipe that replaces bread with eggplant, making it a healthier and more savory option than traditional French toast. The eggplant is cooked in a mixture of eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and salt, and then fried in butter or coconut oil until golden brown. It is then finished off in the oven to ensure that the eggplant is tender and cooked through. This recipe is perfect for vegetarians or anyone looking to add more vegetables to their diet. Plus, it's easy to make and packed with health benefits!

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2.	Cut the eggplant into 1-inch thick slices.
3.	In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, almond milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, pumpkin spice, and salt.
4.	Dip each eggplant slice into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are coated.
5.	In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter or coconut oil.
6.	Fry each eggplant slice until golden brown, about 3 minutes per side.
7.	Transfer eggplant slices to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10 minutes, until the eggplant is tender and cooked through.
