Recipe was OK, if messy on the grill. But the title is very silly. It's just FRENCH TOAST, not a pudding. Since you have to bake the compote, why not just bake a proper bread pudding and grill something else. Rhubarb compote was good, but would prefer a fruit other the pears. A summer fruit would be better.
