We love breakfast in our house! Typically, a weekend morning in our house consists of bacon, eggs, pancakes or cinnamon rolls. We eat healthy on the weekdays but like to splurge on the weekend! Since we’ve been spending so much time at home recently we’ve had a chance to add to our breakfast repertoire like this delicious French Toast!

The French Toast in this recipe is similar to traditional recipes you’ve seen; however, I’ve added Orange Juice for an extra refreshing taste! It gives it a nice crisp after taste that is so unique and complemented perfectly by the berry compote!

You can top with the traditional syrup and powdered sugar; or better yet try greek yogurt and this incredible Berry Compote! I was inspired by HerAtlas and her delicious French Toast toppings, they have really upped our breakfast game! This Compote is so simple and can be made with Honey or Agave nectar for a wonderful, healthy breakfast addition.

I hope you enjoy the perfect breakfast treat! It has quickly become one of our go to breakfast options! I like how it is a somewhat healthy take on a delicious traditional breakfast. If you love this recipe be sure to checkout our favorite dessert- this delicious Red Velvet cake recipe!
