Time 20m

Yield Serves 2

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 medium free-range eggs
150ml whole milk
½ tsp mixed spice
Pinch ground cinnamon
4 thick brioche slices
Butter for frying
4 tbsp mascarpone
Grated white or dark chocolate to serve
Grated zest ½ orange
For the compote
300g frozen mixed berries
Juice ½ orange
2 tbsp golden caster sugar

Steps:

  • Put all the ingredients for the compote in a small pan and gently cook until the berries have thawed and softened and the sauce has thickened slightly, about 6-8 minutes (see Make Ahead).
  • Meanwhile, whisk the eggs with the milk and spices in a wide, shallow bowl. Melt a knob of butter in a frying pan over a medium heat.
  • When the butter is foaming, dip a slice of brioche in the egg mixture to coat both sides, then add to the pan and fry for 2 minutes on each side or until golden. Do this in batches, setting the brioche aside on a plate while you fry the remaining slices. Wipe the pan clean and add another knob of butter between batches if need be.
  • Serve the warm French toast topped with a dollop mascarpone, a generous portion of berry compote and a sprinkling of grated chocolate and orange zest.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients, especially for the brioche bread and the fresh berries. This will make a big difference in the final flavor of the dish.
  • Make sure the brioche bread is thick enough to hold up to the custard mixture. Otherwise, it will become soggy and fall apart.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when cooking the French toast. This will prevent the pieces from cooking evenly.
  • Be careful not to overcook the French toast. Otherwise, it will become dry and tough.
  • Serve the French toast immediately with the fresh berry compote. This will ensure that the toast is at its best and the compote is still warm.

Conclusion:

Brioche French toast with fresh berry compote is a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or brunch dish. It's perfect for special occasions or lazy weekend mornings. With its rich, buttery flavor and sweet, tangy compote, this dish is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a special breakfast or brunch recipe, give this one a try.
