Instructions
For the berries topping:
Place the berries with the sugar and a pinch of salt in a medium cooking pan and bring to medium heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until the berries break down a bit.
Add the lemon juice, stir and cook for 2 more minutes until the consistency of a light sauce forms. Remove the sauce from the heat and wait for it to cool down a little before using.
Wash and disinfect the fresh berries or fruit of your choice very well. Depending on the berries used, cut the strawberries into 4 pieces and leave the rest of the berries uncut, such as raspberries, blueberries or blackberries. Set aside until needed.
For the French toast:
Take 6 slices of bread and spread 1 1/2 tablespoons mascarpone cheese on each slice, without reaching the edges. Top each slice with another slice of bread to make 6 sandwiches.
Separately, in a large bowl beat the eggs with the sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon powder, milk and whipping cream. Beat everything with a hand whisk until smooth.
Place a large pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter to cook the French bread. Dip 2 sandwiches into the egg mixture, turning them over to make sure that they soak up the mixture. Then immediately place them on the pan to cook for 3 minutes on each side, until lightly browned.
Repeat the previous step to cook the rest of the French toast. Once they are all ready, cut them in half and serve with the berries topping and fresh berries or fruit.
