French Toast

Berry Compote

Serving

Method

French Toast

  1. 1

    Prepare the Egg Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Dip the Bread

    Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Dip each slice of Texas toast into the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated.

  3. 3

    Cook the Toast

    Place the dipped Texas toast on the skillet and cook until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add more butter to the skillet as needed and repeat with the remaining slices.

Berry Compote

  1. 4

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice.

  2. 5

    Cook the Compote

    Heat over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries break down and the mixture thickens, about 10 minutes.

Serving

  1. 6

    Plate the Dish

    Serve the thick cut French toast warm, topped with a generous spoonful of berry compote. Dust with powdered sugar.

  2. 7

    Cook Breakfast Meat

    In a separate skillet, cook the breakfast meat of your choice until crispy, then serve alongside the French toast.
