8 Schritte

Schritt 1
Make the compote: Combine berries, sugar, and lemon juice in a saucepan. Cook over medium heat until berries break down and mixture thickens, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
Schritt 2
In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
Schritt 3
Heat a large skillet or griddle over medium heat and add butter.
Schritt 4
Dip each bread slice in egg mixture, coating both sides, but don't oversoak.
Schritt 5
Cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Schritt 6
Repeat with remaining slices, adding more butter as needed.
Schritt 7
Serve hot with warm berry compote, powdered sugar, and maple syrup.
Schritt 8
Top with whipped cream if desired.

Notiz von Chef Sarah

Use bread that is a day old. Fresh bread goes soggy in the custard; slightly stale bread soaks it up and still holds together.
