Oat Streusel

Method

Fruit Compote

  1. 1

    Prepare the Fruit Compote

    In a saucepan, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the berries are soft and the mixture is slightly thickened. Remove from heat and set aside.

French Toast

  1. 2

    Prepare the French Toast Mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, and cinnamon until well combined. Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.

  2. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    In a large skillet or griddle, melt a little butter over medium heat. Cook the soaked bread slices for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from skillet and keep warm.

Oat Streusel

  1. 4

    Make the Oat Streusel

    In a bowl, mix together rolled oats, brown sugar, melted butter, flour, and salt until crumbly. Sprinkle the streusel mixture over the French toast while it is cooking in the skillet.

Whipped Cream

  1. 5

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract with an electric mixer until soft peaks form.

Assembly

  1. 6

    Assemble the Dish

    Serve the French toast on a plate topped with the warm fruit compote, a generous scoop of oat streusel, and a dollop of whipped cream.
