French Bread French Toast with Blueberry Compote

This is a personal creation of mine that has to be my second favorite dessert after Bananas Fosters. I'm not a big fan of sweets or a fan of making desserts but this dish was an absolute knockout and an instant crowd pleaser. On top of all that it is easy and requires very few ingredients.
