They’re quite easy to make – and quite delicious to eat. A key is finding a good ciabatta or pan de hotel bread with a medium crust and a solid white interior. If the bread is too artisan – too many air pockets – it doesn’t work quite as well.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
INGREDIENTS METHOD Lightly oil a large nonstick skillet or griddle on medium to medium high heat.<\/p>\n Place 2 pieces of bread at a time in the bowl – giving them a good 30 seconds or more to soak in the mixture. Flip them… to ensure both sides are nicely prepared.<\/p>\n Cook bread slices for 3-4 minutes or until golden brown on the bottom. Flip then cook another 2-3 minutes or until golden brown on the second side.<\/p>\n Plate each serving then lightly dust with powdered sugar. If serving compote, serve on the side – in a ramekin is best. Serve with agave nectar and butter if desired. To make compote, put 1 cup fresh fruit or berries in a saucepan and cook on medium heat for 7-10 minutes depending on density of the fruit (pineapple is a little faster, blackberries are a little slower). Add about \u2153 cup sugar and continue cooking as the fruit breaks down, stir constantly at this point as the sugar caramelizes. Serve in a ramekin or on the side of the plate. Garnish with bananas.<\/p>\n Enjoy!<\/p>\n PURA VIDA!<\/p>\n
