French Toast Croissant with Fresh Peach Compote

September 2, 2012 · by Carrie Trax ·

 

2  croissants
2 large eggs
1 tablespoon half and half
¼ teaspoon vanilla extract

1# peaches (3 large) peeled and sliced
½ cup brown sugar
¼ cup water
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon nutmeg
1 tablespoon butter

¼ cup pecans, chopped
Whipped cream, garnish
Powdered sugar, garnish

Cut the two croissants in half, I like to put them in the freezer overnight they are easier to cut frozen.  In small bowl combine eggs, half and half and vanilla, pour into a shallow pan.  If your croissants are a large add an extra egg, set aside.

 

 

Combine peaches, brown sugar, water, cinnamon and nutmeg in a 1 quart saucepan.  Cook over low-medium heat for 10 minutes or until the mixture is a medium-thick syrup, stir occasionally. Set aside and cook your croissants.

 

If you have a flat top grill heat to 400 degrees or in a large skillet over medium-high heat add 1 tablespoon butter.  Open the cut croissant and place in egg mixture pressing down to coat flip over and coat the other side.  Place cut side down on grill or in skillet and cook about 2-3 minutes, or until brown. Flip over and cook the second side this will take less time about 1 ½ to 2 minutes.

 

 

 

 

 

 

To assemble place croissant bottom on plate and fill with ½ the peach compote, place on the top of the croissant.  Sprinkle with powdered sugar and garnish with the whipped cream and pecans.

Mini Oregon Berry Pies

Mini Oregon Berry Pies

You know that summer has started here in Oregon when you see the boxes of berries overflowing at the farmers markets.  Blackberries, Blueberries, Tayberries are in season with a few Strawberries still around.  After gathering up several boxes of each of these berries I needed to find a way to enjoy all these berries in […]

The Best Apples for Applesauce

The Best Apples for Applesauce

The Best Apples for Applesauce There are many apples to choose from this time of year and it is hard to know which are the best for pies, eating, salads, baking and yes, applesauce.  I started canning applesauce so I could have that fresh taste long after the apples I like are no longer available.  […]

Lasagna Florentine

Lasagna Florentine

Fresh greens are bountiful at the farmers markets and my favorite is baby spinach this time of the year.  This is a great dish to add other fresh vegetables when they come into season like some sauteed zucchini and grated fresh carrots.  Let your imagination and the farmers market decide what goes into your lasagna […]
