Easy Sourdough French Toast With Berry Compote

Ingredients

• 4 slices sourdough bread (cut thick)
• 2 large eggs
• 1 cup unsweetened milk of choice (cashew, almond, soy, etc.)
• 1/2 tsp cinnamon
• Coconut oil or butter, for cooking
• 2 cups frozen or fresh berries ((e.g. blueberries, raspberries, mixed berries))
• 2 Tbsp chia seeds
• 2 Tbsp water (add more if needed)

Instructions

1. 1

   IF making berry compote: in a small saucepan, mix compote ingredients over low heat, stirring occasionally until it becomes a jammy texture (approx. 5 mins).

2. 2

   To make the french toast, start by whisking together the eggs, almond milk, and cinnamon into a large bowl. Use a bowl that is big enough to dip the sourdough in.

3. 3

   Then, heat a large pan over medium heat and add a touch of coconut oil. You could also use butter or ghee in place of coconut oil. I use about 1/2 a tsp per toast.

4. 4

   Take individual slices of thick-cut sourdough and dip it into the egg-milk mixture. Be sure to coat both sides and shake off excess liquid.

5. 5

   Transfer the dipped bread onto the pan. Cook for about 4 minutes on one side, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes. The sourdough should be lightly browned when done!

6. 6

   Remove the cooked french toast from the pan and set aside. Continue with the remaining pieces of bread until done. Serve warm and add toppings as desired!
