Step‑by‑Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Filling: In a medium bowl, combine ricotta cheese, lemon zest, and granulated sugar. Mix until smooth, then gently fold in mixed berries. Set aside.
  2. Whisk the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, and cinnamon until well blended.
  3. Assemble the Toast: Spread the ricotta and berry filling on one side of a slice of bread and top with another slice to create a sandwich. Repeat.
  4. Soak the Bread: Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for about 15-20 seconds per side.
  5. Cook the French Toast: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with butter. Place the soaked sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  6. Serve: Transfer to plates, drizzle with honey or maple syrup, dust with powdered sugar, and garnish with mint leaves.
