Irish Soda Bread French Toast with Berry Compote (Dairy & Egg Free)

Ingredients

• 8 slices Irish Soda Bread, sliced
• 1 cup Plant-based milk
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 0.5 teaspoon Cinnamon
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil or vegan butter
• 2 cups Mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Maple syrup (for compote)

Instructions

1. 1In a shallow dish, whisk together the 1 cup of plant-based milk, 2 tablespoons of maple syrup, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 0.5 teaspoon of cinnamon until well combined.
2. 2Dip each of the 8 slices of Irish Soda Bread into the plant-based milk mixture, allowing each side to soak for about 10 seconds. Place the soaked bread slices onto a plate.
3. 3Heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil or vegan butter in a large skillet over medium heat, approximately 325°F (163°C).
4. 4Carefully place the soaked bread slices into the hot skillet. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and appears puffed.
5. 5While the French toast is cooking, prepare the berry compote. In a saucepan, combine the 2 cups of mixed berries, 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, and 2 tablespoons of maple syrup.
6. 6Cook the berry mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 to 7 minutes. The berries should soften and the sauce should thicken slightly.
7. 7Serve the Irish Soda Bread French toast warm, topped with the prepared berry compote.
