Chicken Coop Chatter©
8 pieces thick bread (I used French bread)
1/2 cup + 1 cup Compote (warm or cold)
Cream Cheese (softened)
6 eggs
1 cup cream (milk or 1/2 and 1/2 can be used)
1 tsp. Vanilla
Powdered Sugar
1 T. Butter
Mix eggs, cream and vanilla together with a whisk until fully incorporated. Mix 1/2 cup of the berry compote with softened cream cheese. Cut the bread 3/4 of the way, without cutting through. Spread the cream cheese mixture on each side of the bread, add a spoonful of the berry compote. Pour the egg mixture over the bread, cover and refrigerate overnight. In the morning turn the bread over, to make sure the entire loaf has absorbed the egg mixture. OR Spoon the Cream cheese mixture onto the french bread slices, spreading it evenly. Layer another piece of bread on top and continue sandwich style with each two pieces of bread. Dredge the bread into the egg mixture until nicely coated on each side (if making individual servings). Lay the pieces in a buttered casserole dish or cast iron dutch oven pan. Cover and Bake in oven at 350-400 degrees until the last 15 minutes, uncover and bake until set and golden brown. Serve warm with a spoonful of compote and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Drizzle with Blackberry syrup if desired.
