Cinnamon French Toast with Creamy Topping and Fruit Compot

Thick bread - I used medium in the recipe but that's all we had in the house
1 egg
Milk
Cinnamon powder
3tbsp frozen berries
Cream cheese
A little water
Icing sugar


Now, this is one of those recipes where you just have to judge the quantities by eye. There are no real measurements and that's what makes this breakfast divine!

Start by placing your berries in a small saucepan over a low-medium heat with 2 tbsp water and 1 tbsp icing sugar. Allow to come to a medium simmer and cook away while you do everything else. 

Beat some cream cheese with a tiny tiny tiny splash of milk and some icing sugar. Taste until it's your desired sweetness. It should be fairly thick but it doesn't have to be. The consistency of softly whipped cream is what I went for and it was so good!

Beat the egg, some milk and 2 tsp cinnamon together in a jug. Pour a third of the mixture onto a large flat plate and dip the bread on both sides until it's totally drenched. Heat a frying pan over a medium heat. Fry the bread until it's golden on both sides. Set aside and keep warm. Repeat the process until you have as much bread as you like.

To serve, layer as follows: bread, creamy stuff, berries, bread, creamy stuff and finally some berry mix on top. Trust me, it's yummy!
