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.
