Yogurt Toast with Berries and Honey Recipe - Recipe Image

Ingredients

2 thick slices of bread such as brioche, wheat, or sourdough
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 large egg
2 tablespoons maple syrup, agave, honey, or melted chocolate, plus more for drizzling
Pinch of cinnamon
Blueberries, strawberries, and/or raspberries, for topping
Powdered sugar, toasted oats, dried coconut, chocolate shavings (all optional), for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat an oven to 400ºF or an air fryer to 375ºF. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup, and cinnamon until smooth.
Step 2: Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, press into the center of each bread slice to create a well without tearing the bread. Fill each well evenly with the yogurt custard mixture, then top with your choice of berries.
Step 3: If using an oven, place the prepared bread slices on a baking sheet and bake until the custard is set and the bread is golden brown, about 10 to 13 minutes.
Step 4: If using an air fryer, carefully place the bread slices in the basket and cook until the custard is set and the bread is golden brown, about 7 to 10 minutes.
Step 5: Transfer the toast to a plate, drizzle with additional maple syrup or your preferred topping, and optionally dust with powdered sugar before serving.

Tips & Variations

For added texture, sprinkle toasted oats or shredded coconut over the berries before baking.
Use any sturdy bread you like, but thicker slices work best to hold the custard.
Swap the cinnamon for nutmeg or cardamom for a different warm spice flavor.
Add chocolate shavings or a drizzle of melted chocolate for a richer treat.

Storage

Store leftover yogurt toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven or toaster oven to maintain crispness. Avoid microwaving as it may soften the bread too much.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is thicker and helps the custard set properly. Using regular yogurt may result in a runnier custard, but you can strain it beforehand to thicken.

Is it possible to make this recipe vegan?

Yes, substitute the egg with a flax or chia egg and use plant-based yogurt. Use maple syrup or agave and ensure the bread is vegan-friendly to keep the recipe plant-based.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Custard

2 thick slices of bread such as brioche, wheat, or sourdough
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 large egg
2 tbsp maple syrup, agave, honey, or melted chocolate, plus more for drizzling
Pinch of cinnamon

Toppings

Blueberries, strawberries, and/or raspberries, for topping
Powdered sugar, toasted oats, dried coconut, chocolate shavings (all optional), for serving

Instructions

Preheat and Make Custard: Preheat your oven to 400ºF or air fryer to 375ºF. In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup (or preferred sweetener), and a pinch of cinnamon until smooth and combined.
Prepare the Bread: Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, gently press into the center of each bread slice to create a well or indentation without tearing the bread. This will hold the custard mixture.
Fill the Bread: Evenly divide and pour the custard mixture into the wells of the bread slices. Top the custard-filled bread with your choice of fresh berries or a mix of berries.
Cook the Yogurt Toast: For oven: place the prepared bread slices on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the custard is set and bread edges are golden brown. For air fryer: carefully place the bread slices in the air fryer basket and cook for 7 to 10 minutes, checking for a set custard and golden edges.
Serve: Transfer the cooked yogurt toast to a plate. Drizzle with additional maple syrup, honey, or melted chocolate as desired. Optionally, finish with a dusting of powdered sugar, toasted oats, dried coconut, or chocolate shavings for added texture and sweetness.

Notes

You can use any thick, sturdy bread to hold the custard well, like brioche, sourdough, or wheat bread.
If you prefer a dairy-free alternative, use a non-dairy yogurt and egg substitute, though texture may slightly differ.
Adjust sweetness by varying the amount or type of syrup used in the custard and for drizzling.
The air fryer cooking time may vary slightly based on model; check for set custard and golden edges to ensure doneness.
Additional toppings like nuts or seeds can add an interesting crunch to this dish.
