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 tablespoons maple syrup, agave, honey, or melted chocolate, plus more for drizzling
- Pinch of cinnamon
Toppings
- Blueberries, strawberries, and/or raspberries, for topping
- Powdered sugar (optional)
- Toasted oats (optional)
- Dried coconut (optional)
- Chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat and Mix Custard: Preheat your oven to 400ºF or an air fryer to 375ºF. In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup (or chosen sweetener), and a pinch of cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
- Create Bread Wells: Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, press into the center of each slice of bread carefully to make an indentation or well without tearing the bread, creating space for the custard filling.
- Fill Bread with Custard and Add Berries: Evenly divide the yogurt custard mixture between the two bread slices, filling the wells. Then, top each slice generously with your choice of fresh berries like blueberries, strawberries, or raspberries.
- Bake or Air Fry: If using an oven, place the prepared bread slices on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 13 minutes, until the custard is set and the bread turns golden brown. If using an air fryer, carefully place the bread slices in the air fryer basket and cook for 7 to 10 minutes until set and golden.
- Finish and Serve: Transfer the baked or air-fried yogurt toast onto plates. Drizzle with additional maple syrup, honey, or melted chocolate as desired. Optionally, finish with a dusting of powdered sugar and sprinkle with toasted oats, dried coconut, or chocolate shavings for added texture and flavor.
Notes
- You can vary the bread type based on preference; brioche offers richness while sourdough adds tanginess.
- The filling mixture must be handled carefully to avoid tearing the bread when creating the wells.
- If you don’t have an air fryer, the oven method works just as well.
- Additional toppings like toasted oats and dried coconut add nice texture contrasts but are optional.
- Adjust sweetness levels by modifying the amount or type of sweetener used in the custard and drizzling.
