This classic french toast recipe is easy to make and and delicious. I used sliced Brioche from Trader Joes. I find that sweet buttery bread works best for french toast. I loaded it up with a homemade blueberry compote that can be made in minutes. Blueberry compote is a great less sweet alternative to maple syrup. Sprinkle a little bit of powdered sugar for the perfect sweetness in addition to the tart compote and buttery french toast. This fluffy french toast has a homemade blueberry compote that adds the perfect amount of sweetness. The perfect addition to Sunday Brunch.
Ingredients:
- Milk: Regular milk or oatmilk works great.
- Eggs: Hold everything together.
- Maple Syrup: Is used to sweeten this recipe subtly.
- Vanilla Extract: Give’s this recipe it’s flavor.
- Salt: Brings out the other flavors.
- Brioche Bread: This fluffy eggy bread makes this french toast extra rich and delicious.
- Fresh Blueberries: Perfect for the homemade compote and to sprinkle a few fresh ones on afterwards.

Tips and Tricks for the perfect Blueberry Compote French Toast:
- Dip bread for 20 seconds per side to get the perfect soak but not so it’s soggy.
- Cook on medium high heat for the perfect crispy french toast slices.
- Regular sugar can be used instead of Maple Syrup in the compote, just cut the amount in half.
- Homemade Brioche works great as well. This recipe looks great!
- Keep finished french toast in an oven at 200 degrees until the rest of your meal is ready.
- Make multiple types of compote ahead of time to have a compote bar for the french toast. Strawberry, blackberry, or cherry compotes would be great as well.
- If you would like a stronger vanilla flavor, simmer vanilla extract in milk for a few minutes.
