Yogurt Toast with Fresh Fruit (Printable Version)

Baked toast filled with creamy yogurt custard and topped with fresh seasonal fruit.

# What You'll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 4 slices thick-cut brioche or challah bread

→ Yogurt Custard

02 - 2/3 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
03 - 1 large egg
04 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
05 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

07 - 1/2 cup blueberries
08 - 1/2 banana, sliced

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Arrange bread slices on the prepared sheet and press the center of each slice to form a shallow well, keeping edges intact.
03 - Whisk Greek yogurt, egg, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
04 - Spoon yogurt custard evenly into the wells of each bread slice.
05 - Top each filled bread slice with sliced strawberries, blueberries, and banana.
06 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until custard is set and bread edges turn golden brown.
07 - Allow to cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar, sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired, and serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent an hour on breakfast when you spent maybe fifteen minutes total.
  • The contrast between crispy toast edges and that soft, custardy center is genuinely addictive.
  • Works for breakfast, brunch, or even a sneaky dessert nobody needs to know about.
02 -
  • Don't skimp on the bread thickness or use regular sandwich bread—it will fall apart and you'll feel disappointed, trust me.
  • The custard will look slightly runny when it goes into the oven, but it sets beautifully during baking, so don't panic and add more egg.
03 -
  • Make the custard mixture while the oven preheats so everything stays on schedule and warm when it hits the pan.
  • If you're feeding multiple people, prep all your toasts on the same sheet and bake them together—they'll finish at exactly the same time, which is oddly satisfying.
