Directions
Set aside 1 cup berries. For berry compote, combine remaining berries, granulated sugar, and orange juice in a small saucepan. Heat over medium heat 2 to 4 minutes or just until berries begin to break down, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat; stir in reserved 1 cup berries, then set aside.
Spray grids of a Belgian or regular waffle maker with cooking spray; wipe off excess. Preheat waffle maker to medium-high.
Whisk together eggs, half-and-half, brown sugar, vanilla, orange zest, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl. Soak bread slices in egg mixture for 3 minutes, coating both sides. Place soaked bread on heated waffle iron; close lid and gently press down. Bake according to manufacturer's instructions or until golden. Use a fork to lift toast off grids. Transfer to wire rack in pan; keep warm in oven. Repeat with remaining bread slices.
Cut each French toast slice into 4 strips. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired. Serve with berry compote.
