Instructions

French Toast

Step 1

Optionally use slightly stale bread or gently toast in the oven at 250 degrees for about 15 minutes until the center is dry.

Step 2

Whisk together the eggs, half & half, salt, sugar, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl.

Step 3

Dip each slice of bread in the mixture and make sure both sides of the bread are generously coated.

Step 4

Melt butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add the bread and cook until golden brown on both sides. About 3 minutes a side. Cook in batches depending on how much French toast you're making and the size of your pan. Add more butter to the pan as needed in between batches.

Blueberry Compote

Step 5

Add the blueberries, water, sugar, and lemon juice to a small pan. Bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Stir occasionally. Cook until the blueberries are jammy. About 10-20 minutes depending on your desired consistency.

Step 6

Optionally stir in the thinly sliced basil and mint and cook for another minute, stirring constantly.

Step 7

Divide the french toast among plates to serve. Top each serving with the blueberry compote. Optionally sprinkle with powdered sugar.
