Ingredients
- 120g blueberries, for the compote
- 1 orange, juiced (for the compote)
- 20g icing sugar, plus extra to dust (for the compote)
- 1 egg
- 100ml semi-skimmed milk
- 60ml double cream
- 1 pinch ground cinnamon
- 20g golden caster sugar
- 2 croissants, ideally a few days old, cut in half lengthways through the middle
- 15g unsalted butter
Method
Step 1
To make the compote, add the blueberries, orange juice and 40ml water to a saucepan. Sift in the icing sugar, then stir well. Cook over a low-medium heat for about 10 mins, or until the berries start to burst gently and the mixture has thickened. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. The compote can be made in advance, if you like; it’ll keep in a sealed container in the fridge for a few days.
Step 2
For the French toast, put the egg, milk, cream, cinnamon, sugar and a pinch of salt into a large bowl; mix using a balloon whisk, until fully combined.
Step 3
Pour the mixture into a large shallow container, then dip in the croissant halves, coating both sides. Don’t dip them for too long as they’ll start to break apart. Set aside on a tray or plate.
Step 4
Put a large frying pan over a medium heat and melt half the butter. Add 2 of the soaked croissant halves and cook for 3-4 mins each side, until golden. Repeat with the remaining butter and croissant halves.
Step 5
Serve the French toast warm, topped with the blueberry compote and finished with a dusting of icing sugar.
