Ingredients

Units Scale

Brioche French Toast:

  • 1 loaf brioche bread, cut into 1-inch thick slices
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • butter for cooking

For the Blueberry Compote:

  • 1 1/2 cups fresh or frozen blueberries
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon water

For serving:

  • 1/2 cup crème fraîche

Instructions

  1. Brioche French Toast: In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt. Dip each slice of brioche into the egg mixture, soaking both sides well. Cook the soaked bread slices in a skillet or griddle until golden brown and cooked through.
  2. Blueberry Compote: Combine blueberries, sugar, lemon juice, zest, and water in a saucepan. Simmer until the berries burst and the mixture thickens. Serve warm French toast topped with blueberry compote and crème fraîche.

Notes

  • For a tangier twist, mix the crème fraîche with honey or vanilla.
  • The compote can be made ahead and stored in the fridge for up to a week.
