The Method

1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
2
Generously spread softened Jersey butter on one side of each slice of bread.
3
Place the buttered bread, butter-side up, on a baking sheet.
4
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the butter is melted and slightly browned around the edges.
5
While the toast is baking, prepare the berry compote. In a small saucepan, combine the mixed berries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice.
6
Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the berries soften and release their juices. Simmer for about 5-7 minutes, or until the compote thickens slightly. Stir in vanilla extract (if using).
7
Remove the toast from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
8
Spoon the berry compote over the baked butter toast.
9
Dust with powdered sugar (optional) and serve immediately.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of sea salt over the buttered toast before baking.

If using frozen berries, thaw them completely and drain off any excess liquid before making the compote.

The berry compote can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently before serving.

Experiment with different types of berries for the compote, such as raspberries, blueberries, or strawberries.
