Instructions

  1. Step 1

    In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup mixed berries, 2 tbsp sugar, and 1 tsp lemon juice. Cook over medium heat until berries soften and release juices, about 5-7 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Mash the berries lightly with a fork to your desired consistency. Continue cooking until the mixture thickens slightly, about 2-3 minutes more. Remove from heat.

  3. Step 3

    Toast 2 slices of bread until golden and crisp.

  4. Step 4

    Spread 1 tbsp butter evenly over the warm toast.

  5. Step 5

    Spoon the berry compote generously over the buttered toast and serve immediately.
