French Toast & Berry Compote

Brioche is a classic French bread known for its rich, tender crumb and slightly sweet flavor, thanks to its high butter and egg content. To make his decadent French toast, Chef John DeLucie starts with thick slices soaked in a mixture of eggs, whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a touch of cinnamon. This process ensures that the bread becomes infused with flavor and wonderfully custardy when griddled. He serves a hearty portion with sweet mixed-berry compote and tangy, creamy mascarpone cheese (cream cheese’s Italian cousin), whipped with maple syrup and cinnamon. It all adds up to the perfect treat-yourself weekend breakfast. Mimosas optional, but strongly encouraged.
