Baked French Toast with Berry Compote

Isaac Lopez

Report

Baked French Toast with Berry Compote features brioche slices cut into sticks, dipped in an egg and milk mixture sweetened with brown sugar and vanilla, then baked until lightly browned. Accompanied by a simmered berry compote made from mixed berries and sugar, it presents a soft, sweet, and fruity breakfast or brunch option that balances warm, custardy bread with a bright fruit topping.

Description

This recipe cuts brioche slices into sticks which are stacked and dipped in a mixture of beaten eggs, milk, brown sugar, and vanilla extract. Baking these sticks on a parchment-lined tray at a moderate temperature results in French toast sticks with a tender interior and slight browning on the surface.

While the toast bakes, a berry compote is prepared by gently cooking mixed berries and sugar over medium heat, stirring periodically until the fruit breaks down into a thickened sauce. Adjusting sugar allows control over the compote’s sweetness especially if using tart berries.

The French toast sticks are plated and topped with the warm berry compote and optionally dusted with powdered sugar for added sweetness and presentation. This makes a pleasant dish suitable for a brunch or special breakfast offering.

Instructions

Keep Screen Awake

Preheat the oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl or a pie pan, mix eggs, milk, sugar and vanilla extract.
Cut the brioche slices each into three sticks (You will have 18 sticks), place them two by two on top of each other (you will have 9 thick sticks)
Dip a thick stick in egg and milk mixture, shake it a little bit so the extra egg mixture drips down, place the French toast stick on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining brioche sticks.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes.
As the French toasts are being baked, mix berries and sugar in a small pot and put it over medium heat, stir every 5 minutes to prevent it from sticking to the bottom of the pot. If your berries are too sour, add more sugar. Cook until berries are mashed and blended, about 20 minutes.
Place the French toast sticks on a plate and top with some berry compote and powdered sugar if desired.
