Whole Grain French Toast With Blackberry Compote Recipes

WHOLE WHEAT FRENCH TOAST RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat Griddler, fitted with the griddle plates, to 375°F (190°C), and grease with nonstick spray.
• Use a whisk to beat the eggs in a 9x13-inch (23x33-cm) casserole dish until smooth.
• Add the milk, maple syrup, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt, and whisk until smooth and well combined.
• Dunk the bread in the batter, 4 slices at a time, until just soaked. Do not let the bread soak in the wet ingredients too long or it will become too wet and fall apart when you attempt to pick it up.
• Transfer the soaked bread to the Griddler and cook for 10 minutes.
• Sprinkle with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup, and serve.
• Enjoy!

BLACKBERRY-STUFFED FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Place the berries, 1/3 cup/70 grams granulated sugar, the lemon juice and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan. Roughly crush the berries with the back of a fork to help release some of their juices.
• Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium-low, cover with a lid and cook at a strong simmer, stirring occasionally to ensure the berries never stick to the bottom and burn, until the sauce has thickened and reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool and thicken for another 10 minutes.
• In a large mixing bowl, whisk to combine the eggs, milk, rum, vanilla, a pinch of salt and the remaining 3 tablespoons/30 grams granulated sugar; set aside.
• Lay 4 pieces of bread out on a plate or tray, and divide the cooled fruit across the bread (about 2 to 3 tablespoons each), leaving roughly 3/4-inch of space around the edges of the bread. Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread, and press down lightly to adhere.
• Heat a large frying pan or griddle over medium-high and melt enough butter to coat the bottom. Just as the butter begins to bubble, float a sandwich on top of the egg batter for 3 seconds, then flip to soak the other side for 3 more seconds. Hold the sandwich over the bowl for 10 seconds to allow any excess batter to drip off, then transfer it to the hot pan. Repeat with as many sandwiches as will fit in your pan; you may need to do this in batches. Cook until deep golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side, adding butter to the pan as needed. Transfer to plates and dust generously with confectioners' sugar.

BRIOCHE FRENCH TOAST WITH FRESH BERRY COMPOTE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 225 degrees F.
• In a medium saucepan, combine fresh berries with 1/4 cup sugar and the water and bring to a simmer.
• Cook over moderate heat , stirring occasionally, until the berries have softened and released their juices and the sugar has dissolved completely, about 8 minutes.
• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs with the heavy cream, the remaining 3 tablespoons of sugar and the cinnamon, ginger and allspice.
• Transfer the cream and egg mixture to a 9x13 baking dish.
• Heat a large cast-iron griddle over moderate heat and lightly butter it.
• Working in batches, dip half of the brioche slices in the cream and egg mixture, turning them once, until the slices are moistened but not soggy.
• Transfer the soaked brioche slices to the griddle and cook them over moderate heat, turning once, until they are golden on both sides and cooked through, about 4 minutes.
• Transfer the finished French toast to a baking sheet, cover loosely with foil and keep warm in the oven while you soak and cook the remaining brioche slices.
• Transfer the French toast to plates and serve right away, accompanied by the warm berry compote and creme fraiche.

BLACKBERRY FRENCH TOAST

Steps:

• Cook blackberry jam in a small saucepan over medium heat until melted and smooth, stirring once, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Place 1/2 of the bread cubes into the bottom of a lightly greased 9x13-inch baking dish and drizzle with melted jam. Top with remaining bread cubes.
• Mix half-and-half and whipped cream cheese together in a bowl; add eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla extract. Mix together well and pour over bread mixture. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Cover tightly with aluminum foil and chill in the refrigerator, 8 to 24 hours.
• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Bake in the preheated oven, covered, for 20 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until bread is golden brown and mixture is set, 10 to 15 minutes more. Serve with desired toppings.
