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
Optional: powdered sugar, toasted oats, dried coconut, chocolate shavings, for serving

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat an oven to 400ºF or an air fryer to 375ºF. In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup (or your chosen sweetener), and a pinch of cinnamon until smooth.
Step 2: Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, gently press into the center of each bread slice to create an indentation or well without tearing the bread. Divide the yogurt custard mixture evenly between the slices, filling the wells. Top generously with your choice of berries.
Step 3: If baking in the oven, place the prepared bread slices on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the custard is set and the bread is golden brown.
Step 4: If using an air fryer, carefully place the bread slices in the basket and cook for 7 to 10 minutes until the custard is set and the bread is golden.
Step 5: Transfer the cooked yogurt toasts to a plate. Drizzle with additional maple syrup, honey, or melted chocolate, and optionally sprinkle with powdered sugar, toasted oats, dried coconut, or chocolate shavings before serving.

Tips & Variations

Use sturdy bread like brioche or sourdough to hold the custard well without becoming soggy.
Swap berries for sliced bananas, chopped nuts, or a sprinkle of cinnamon for different flavors.
For a vegan version, substitute the egg with flaxseed or chia seed gel and use plant-based yogurt.
Try honey or melted chocolate instead of maple syrup for a different sweetness profile.

Storage

Store any leftover yogurt toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or regular oven to maintain crispness; avoid microwaving to keep the bread from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Greek yogurt is preferred for its thickness and creaminess, which helps the custard hold together. If using regular yogurt, strain it through a fine mesh to remove excess liquid or expect a slightly runnier filling.

What if I don’t have an air fryer or oven?

You can cook the prepared toast in a non-stick skillet over low heat, covered, until the custard sets and the bread is golden. This may take a bit longer and requires careful monitoring.

Ingredients

Scale

Toast and Filling

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 your air fryer to 375ºF. In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup (or your chosen sweetener), and a pinch of cinnamon until smooth and well combined.
Create bread wells: Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, gently press the center of each slice of bread to create an indentation or well. Be careful not to tear the bread, as this space will hold the custard filling.
Fill bread with custard and add berries: Evenly divide the custard mixture between the two bread wells, filling them generously. Top the filled bread with fresh blueberries, strawberries, raspberries, or a mix of your favorite berries.
Cook the toast: If using the oven, arrange the prepared bread slices on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 13 minutes or until the custard has set and the bread turns golden brown. If using an air fryer, carefully place the bread slices in the basket and cook for 7 to 10 minutes until the custard is set and the bread is golden.
Serve and garnish: Transfer the yogurt toast to a plate. Drizzle your favorite syrup or melted chocolate over the top. Optionally, finish with a dusting of powdered sugar and sprinkle toasted oats, dried coconut, or chocolate shavings for added texture and flavor.

Notes

You can swap the bread type to suit your taste—brioche is rich and soft, while sourdough adds a tangy flavor.
Adjust the sweetness by varying the amount or type of syrup used in the custard and for drizzling.
Be gentle when creating wells in the bread to keep the base intact for holding custard.
Fresh berries can be substituted or combined according to availability and preference.
For a vegan option, substitute the egg and Greek yogurt with plant-based alternatives, though cooking times and textures might vary.
