Deep fried French toast with fruit compote.

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

Make the batter

Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.

Coat the bread

In another bowl, mix flour, baking powder, and sugar together.

Prepare the frying batter

In a deep frying pan, heat oil over medium heat until hot.

Heat the oil

Dredge soaked bread slices in the flour mixture, then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

Fry the French toast

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

Combine ingredients

Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the berries break down and release their juices, about 5-7 minutes.
