Baked Yogurt Custard Toast is a delicious and easy breakfast or snack option. The creamy yogurt custard pairs perfectly with crispy toast and fresh fruit.
Start by preheating your oven. Choose thick slices of bread, like brioche or sourdough. Using the back of a spoon, press down the center of each slice to create a well for the custard.
In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt with an egg, a bit of honey, and a splash of vanilla extract. Stir until smooth and creamy. Spoon the yogurt mixture into the wells of the bread slices.
Top the yogurt custard with your favorite fruits. Berries, sliced bananas, or peaches work great. Sprinkle with a bit of cinnamon or nutmeg for extra flavor.
Bake the toasts until the edges are golden and the custard is set. Let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve Baked Yogurt Custard Toast warm, drizzled with extra honey if desired. This dish makes a great breakfast, brunch treat, or an afternoon snack. Enjoy the combination of creamy custard, sweet fruit, and crispy toast.
