French toast with berry compote and maple syrup
French toast with berry compote and maple syrup is a delicious breakfast dish made by dipping bread slices in a mixture of eggs, milk, and cinnamon before frying them until golden brown. The berry compote is a mixture of fresh or frozen berries cooked down with sugar and water to create a sweet, fruity topping. Maple syrup adds a rich, sweet flavor to the dish, and the addition of marmalade can bring a hint of citrusy brightness to complement the flavors.
