French Toast

Dulce de Leche Cinnamon Berry Compote

Method

French Toast

  1. 1

    Prepare the Milk Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the whole milk, evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Whisk until smooth and well combined.

  2. 2

    Whisk the Eggs

    In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they are frothy. Slowly add the milk mixture to the eggs, whisking continuously to ensure the mixture is well blended.

  3. 3

    Soak the Bread

    Place the slices of sourdough bread into the milk-egg mixture, allowing them to soak for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are saturated but not falling apart.

  4. 4

    Cook the French Toast

    Heat a large skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Once melted, add the soaked bread slices to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with remaining slices.

Dulce de Leche Cinnamon Berry Compote

  1. 5

    Prepare the Compote

    In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine the mixed berries, dulce de leche, cinnamon, sugar, and lemon juice. Stir gently to combine.

  2. 6

    Simmer the Compote

    Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes until the berries soften and release their juices, stirring occasionally.

  3. 7

    Serve

    Remove the compote from heat and let it cool slightly. Serve the French toast topped with the warm dulce de leche cinnamon berry compote.
