Method

Preparing the French Toast

  1. 1

    Whisk the Egg Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Prepare the Bread

    Soak each slice of bread in the egg mixture for about 30 seconds on each side, allowing it to absorb the mixture.

  3. 3

    Cook the French Toast

    In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Cook the soaked bread slices for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Repeat with remaining bread, adding more butter as needed.

  4. 4

    Add Dulce de Leche

    Spread a generous layer of dulce de leche on each slice of French toast before serving.

Macerating the Berries

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a medium bowl, combine the mixed berries, sugar, and lemon juice. Toss gently to combine.

  2. 6

    Let Sit

    Allow the mixture to sit for about 15 minutes to let the juices develop and the sugar dissolve.

Toasting the Pecans

  1. 7

    Toast the Pecans

    In a small skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the chopped pecans and toast for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and fragrant.
