Panettone French Toast with Berry Compote

Serves 2 

Ingredients

200g frozen berries of choice

Juice and zest of ½ lemon

1 tbsp caster sugar

2 eggs

90ml milk of choice

1/8 tsp ground cinnamon

1 tsp vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

4 slices panettone, about 3-4cm thick

Butter, for frying

Thickened cream, to serve

Icing sugar, to serve

Method

1. In a saucepan, combine the berries, lemon juice, zest and sugar over medium heat. Stir occasionally until berries release their juices (5-7 minutes). Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-10 minutes until slightly thickened. Set aside to cool and thicken.

2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla and salt. Dip panettone slices in the mixture, coating both sides.

3. Melt a pat of butter in a non-stick pan over medium-high heat. Add the soaked panettone slices and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

4. To serve, arrange two slices of French toast on each plate. Top with a generous spoonful of berry compote and a dollop of thickened cream, then dust with icing sugar.
