FRENCH TOASTS WITH PLUM COMPOTE

French toasts are extremely easy to cook and you can experiment as much with the flavours ,  can be done both savoury and sweet , this morning I was craving a bit of sugar , so had this plated up . This recipe is my favourite because of the emotional connect i share with it , I  learnt how to make them  about three  years back when i was still in college  being instructed by my grandmother over the phone as I woke up home sick and in about barely a minute I was happy and smiling digging in into these yummies .

INGREDIENTS:

FOR THE TOASTS :

• Slices of Bread (Any kind of bread can be used , preferably the last of bread loaf , they're called the bread edges , or if you want to go absolutely authentic , use stale bread.)
• One Egg Per Three slices of bread 
• 8 Tbsp of milk per egg 
• 1 Tbsp Honey or Powdered Sugar 

FOR THE COMPOTE:

• 2 Plums chopped clumsily or the way you like it 
• 4 Tbsp of Sugar 
• 4tbsp Water 

METHOD:

• Beat the egg, milk and honey together in a flat pan or shallow dish .
• Dip the bread on both sides in this mixture 
• Butter the pan or use a non stick if you are health conscious and want to avoid butter 
• Cook the bread for about 1 minute on each side or until you get a Golden brown colour 
• THE COMPOTE : This is probably the most most mechanical step of the recipe , just put the fruit sugar and water together in sauce pan and cook for about 5 minutes , until its slightly thick and the fruit is cooked through .
• Dust some powdered sugar on the toasts and its ready to be served .
