Instructions
- To make the berry compote, add the blueberries, strawberries, lemon juice and caster sugar to a saucepan and heat gently until the blueberries start to release their juices then simmer for 5 minutes or until the mixture becomes slightly thicker. Remove the compote from the heat and set aside.
- In a shallow bowl large, whisk together the egg and milk. Add the vanilla extract and ground cinnamon and continue to whisk until combined well.
- Heat a large non-stick frying pan on a medium heat and add the butter. While the butter is melting, dip a slice of the brioche bread into the wet mixture by laying it flat. Turn the bread over to soak the other side then place the bread in the frying pan. Repeat the process with the other slice of bread. Cook for 3 minutes then use a spatula to turn the bread onto the other side and cook for another 3 minutes. Both sides should be golden brown. Serve with the berry compote.
