French Toast

Fruit Compote

Fresh Fruit

Bacon

Rosemary Hash Browns

Method

French Toast

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined.

  2. 2

    Dip the Bread

    Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tbs of butter. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak slightly, then place it in the skillet.

  3. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    Cook the bread for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.

Fruit Compote

  1. 4

    Cook the Berries

    In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until the berries have softened and released their juices, about 5-7 minutes.

Bacon

  1. 5

    Cook the Bacon

    In a separate skillet, cook the bacon strips over medium heat until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Rosemary Hash Browns

  1. 6

    Prepare the Hash Browns

    In a large bowl, combine grated potatoes, chopped rosemary, salt, and pepper. Mix well.

  2. 7

    Cook the Hash Browns

    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the potato mixture, pressing it down into an even layer. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side.

Assembly

  1. 8

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the French toast warm with a generous spoonful of fruit compote, sliced fresh fruit, crispy bacon, and rosemary hash browns on the side.
