Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium saucepan, combine blueberries, sugar, lemon zest, lemon juice, and water. Bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for about 5-7 minutes until sauce thickens. Mash some berries for a smoother consistency and remove from heat.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat, add butter to melt. Dip brioche slices in custard, coat both sides and cook until golden-brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  4. Serve cooked brioche with blueberry compote spooned generously over the top, sprinkle with lemon zest or powdered sugar if desired.
