Recipe: French toast with apricot compote

• Preparation time: 20 mins
• Cooking: 20 mins
• Difficulty: Easy
• Grill temperature: 220°C
• Grill Method: Direct
• Special equipment: Weber frying pan and casserole

Ingredients:

French toast:

• 4 slices of toasted bread
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoons of milk
• 30g butter (for frying)
• 2 tablespoons of sugar
• 1 teaspoon of cinnamon
• Maple syrup

Apricot compote:

• 250g dried apricots
• 4 DL of water
• 1½ tablespoons sugar
• 2 juicy oranges
• 3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice

This is what you do:

In the kitchen

French toast:

1. Mix milk and eggs together. Flip the bread slices in the mixture and let them “soak” – preferably a few hours if you have the time.
2. Mix sugar and cinnamon.

Apricot compote:

1. Cut the apricots into strips and place them in a saucepan with water and sugar.
2. Cut the oranges into boats. Cut the flesh from the barks along the edge so that they come off without the hull joining – save the juice.
3. Cut the orange fillets into small pieces. Turn the fillets in the apricot juice and puree. Season with lemon juice.

On the grill

French toast:

1. Prepare the grill for direct, high heat, place the pan in the GBS® grate and heat the pan for 5 minutes. Fry the buns in butter in the pan until golden brown.
2. Sprinkle with cinnamon sugar.

Apricot compote:

1. Put the pan with the mixture on the grill and cook for about 12 minutes until the apricots are crushed.
2. Serve the toast with the maple syrup and the apricot compote.
3. Tips! If necessary, toast the buns for a short time on the grill grate before placing them in the egg mixture, so that they have grill marks.
