Method
 

Compote Preparation
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and a splash of water. Simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the blueberries soften.
  2. Lightly mash the berries with a fork for a chunky texture, then remove from heat and set aside to cool.
Custard Mixing
  1. In a large shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Skillet Heating
  1. Place a large skillet over medium heat and melt butter to coat the pan. Ensure the skillet reaches a temperature between 350-375°F.
Bread Cooking
  1. Dip slices of brioche into the custard mixture for about 20 seconds. Place soaked slices in the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Serving
  1. Plate the brioche French toast while hot, topping each slice generously with blueberry compote.
  2. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar or add whipped cream for an extra touch.
