Introduction

Custard yogurt toast is a delightful twist on traditional toast, combining creamy yogurt and egg custard baked right on bread. This versatile recipe can be tailored sweet or savory, making it perfect for any meal of the day.

The image shows three toasted bread slices with different toppings, placed on a white marbled texture. The top-left slice is covered with a light pink spread and drizzled with a creamy peanut butter layer, creating a smooth and slightly glossy finish. The top-right slice has a creamy pale yellow spread topped with fresh berries: two red raspberries and four dark blueberries, adding bright color and texture contrast. The bottom slice is topped with a cheesy, creamy mixture that includes small green broccoli pieces and melted orange-yellow cheese, creating a textured and colorful layer. The edges of all the bread slices are golden brown, slightly crisp. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

3 bread slices
1/3 cup yogurt of choice
1 egg
1-2 teaspoons maple syrup (for sweet toast)
Optional add-ins: mashed or pureed fruits, cinnamon, peanut butter, lemon zest, cocoa powder
Toppings for sweet toast: fresh fruits, nuts or seeds, shredded coconut, chocolate chips
Toppings for savory toast: grated vegetables, cheese, protein (like chicken or salmon)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2: In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg, and any additional add-ins you choose until the mixture is smooth.
Step 3: Place the bread slices on a lined baking sheet. Using your hand or the back of a spoon, create a shallow dent in the center of each slice, leaving about 1/2 inch of border around the edges without tearing the bread.
Step 4: Spoon the custard filling onto the dented area of each bread slice, then add your desired toppings.
Step 5: Bake in the oven or toaster oven until the custard is set and the bread is toasted, about 10-12 minutes.

Tips & Variations

For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of cinnamon or lemon zest to the custard mixture.
Swap maple syrup for honey or agave for different sweet notes.
Use whole grain or sourdough bread for a heartier texture.
Mix in mashed berries or pureed pumpkin for seasonal variations.
Top savory versions with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for brightness.

Storage

Store leftover custard yogurt toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or regular oven to preserve the crispiness. Avoid microwaving to keep the toast from becoming soggy.

How to Serve

Two toasted bread slices on white parchment paper over a wooden board, both sliced diagonally into halves. The toast on the left is topped with a layer of cream cheese or a similar white spread, and decorated with bright red raspberries arranged neatly in rows. The toast on the right has a similar white spread with small, round dark chocolate chips scattered evenly across the surface. A few raspberries are placed beside the toast on the board, and a woman's hand is lifting one of the raspberry-topped halves. The background is a white marbled texture.

FAQs

Can I use flavored yogurt for this recipe?

Yes, flavored yogurts can add an extra layer of sweetness or tang, but be mindful of additional sugars if you’re aiming for a balanced flavor.

Is it necessary to make a dent in the bread slices?

Making a dent helps keep the custard in place and prevents it from spilling over, ensuring a neat, even bake and better texture.
