French Toast Tortillas with Strawberry Compote

Share the love :)

French Toast Tortillas are a fun twist from traditional French toast for a delicious breakfast any time of the day.

The Atlanta Breakfast Club in Atlanta, Georgia serves many unique breakfast dishes like Peach Cobbler French Toast and Salmon Croquettes in addition to traditional eggs and bacon. Breakfast Tacos is a popular item on the menu but these aren’t your normal eggs on tortilla dish. The tortillas are cooked up French Toast style before being topped with pork bacon, scrambled eggs, and warm maple syrup. I loved it so much I made my own version of Breakfast Tacos with Warm Maple Syrup.

The other morning I decided to make a batch of French toast battered tortillas and serve them with a fresh strawberry sauce and powdered sugar. And I was surprised at not only how simple these were to make, I was surprised at how tasty these were on their own, without needing to wrap them up with eggs and bacon.

I made an extra batch of the strawberry topping to enjoy later with ice cream. And it’s easy to swap out the strawberries for blueberries, blackberries, or raspberries.
