One of the best summer treats, hands-down, is French toast with blueberry compote. Blueberries are plentiful right now (at Costco but Saucy has it on reliable sources they can be found IN WILDERNESS) and it is the easiest way to "jack up" your weekend brunch.
1 cup fresh blueberries, plus more for garnish
1/3 cup sugar
juice of half lemon
1/2 Teaspoon cornstarch whisked into 2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon butter
Wash and mash the cup of blueberries. You don't have to worry about drying them off, a little bit of water in the pan is fine. Place them in a small saucepan with the sugar and the lemon juice and cook over medium heat until the mixture bubbles around the edges. You have to bring the compote to a boil in order to cook the cornstarch and thicken the sauce.
Remove from heat and stir in the butter. Let cool before serving warm over warm French toast with added blueberries on top.
You could take this one step further and gather the berries yourself from the wilderness but frankly, there are no bears in the cooler at Costco. Enjoy!
