How do I best store this dish?

You can store the compote and yogurt, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. The compote can also be frozen. French toast is best made fresh, but you can briefly reheat it.

Can I substitute the brioche?

Yes, use thick white bread, sugar bread, or even croissants for an extra rich version.

Is this dish good without chili too?

Absolutely! Omit the chili for a milder, sweeter flavor.

Can I make the compote in advance?

Yes, even better! The flavors develop even more after a night in the fridge.

How do I make it less sweet?

Use less honey in the compote and omit the chili-honey or serve it separately.
