DAY OLD BREAD FRENCK TOAST WITH FRUIT COMPOTE
INGREDIENTS
- 2 eggs
- 50 ml whole milk (or a plant based milk)
- 40 gr butter
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 4 slices day old bread (any kind, but
preferably soft bread) - 100-150 gr mix of berries (or any other
fruit!) - ground cinnamon to taste
- powdered sugar to serve (or honey, or
maple syrup, or any preferred sweetener)
INSTRUCTIONS
Start by making your berry compote. Grab a small saucepan and add some sugar, a tablespoon of cold water, and half of your berries. Stir everything together over low heat until the sugar completely dissolves. Then, turn up the heat to high and let it boil for about 3 minutes, or until the mixture thickens just a bit. Take it off the heat and mix in the rest of your berries. Set it aside while you make the toast.
In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cinnamon, and milk until everything is well combined. Now, heat up a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat and melt some butter in it. While the butter melts, dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are soaked.
Place the bread in the pan and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until it turns a beautiful golden brown.
When it’s ready, serve your French toast with powdered sugar and a big spoonful of your homemade berry compote. If you want, you can also add some yogurt or a drizzle of heavy cream for extra deliciousness. Enjoy!
