What Is A Yogurt Toast?

Yogurt toast is a basic breakfast with tremendous vibes. It's quick, easy, creamy, and crispy. It blends the delights of cheesecake, custard, and French toast into a single slice of bread, giving you the sensation of eating a somewhat sweet dessert and a hearty breakfast all in one.

Yogurt Toast, often known as Custard Yogurt Toast, is an incredibly famous TikTok viral breakfast. TikTok is known for coming up with unique and exciting methods to cook new foods, typically using ingredients you already have in your home, and yogurt toast is no exception.

Making a "custard" is as easy as whisking up an egg, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. The wells created by hollowing out two slices of bread are then filled with the custard. To be honest, there are a ton of options here. Top with chocolate chips or berries, then bake or air fry. This recipe makes a mess-free, simple breakfast in less than 15 minutes from start to finish.

We have to admit that it reminds us of a simple, quick cheesecake. The Greek yogurt's tartness imparts a flavor profile reminiscent of cheesecake's cream cheese.

This dish is quite simple to prepare. The flavor is similar to a cheese Danish. The contrast between the crispness of the bread and the creaminess of the custard elevates it. People enjoy how versatile this dish is; you can use any fat yogurt, any berry, and even chocolate chips or seasonal produce.

Yogurt Toast Recipe

Ingredients

• 2-3 slices of soft bread (depending on size and thickness)
• 1 egg
• 3 tbsp Greek yogurt
• 2-3 tsp maple syrup or honey
• Fresh raspberries, a handful
• 10g dark chocolate chips
• Maple syrup (optional)

Method

• Preheat the oven or air fryer to 180°C/350°F.
• Combine the egg, yogurt, and maple syrup in a small bowl. To make a liquid custard, whisk all of the ingredients together.
• Press into the center of the bread with your fingers or the back of a spoon or fork to indent and create a well without cutting through.
• Fill the indented well with the custard mixture and top with your desired toppings.

Oven Method

• Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 8-12 minutes (depending on the strength of your oven).
• When ready, the custard should be firm and begin to caramelize on the edges. Enjoy your pleasure with a sprinkling of maple syrup (optional). Toast with Custard and Yogurt

Air Fryer

• Cook for 4-5 minutes in the air fryer.
• When ready, the custard should be firm and begin to caramelize on the edges. Enjoy your pleasure with a sprinkling of maple syrup (optional). Toast with Custard and Yogurt

Tips

• The softer the bread, the easier it will be to indent a well into the center, although you can use whichever loaf you like.
• The custard mixture can cover 2 to 3 slices of bread.
• Make careful to thoroughly whisk the custard mixture until it approaches a runny smooth custard texture. There should be no egg clumps.
• Keep an eye on the cooking time because ovens and air fryers differ in power.  
• When ready, the custard should be firm and begin to caramelize on the edges.
• Raspberries, blackberries, blueberries, and strawberries are all great toppings. Just be sure to thinly slice the strawberries before adding them to the custard.

What Bread Should I Use?

The short answer is brioche or challah, although any type of bread would do. Simply avoid using breads with wide holes, such as sourdough. The custard mixture will seep through the perforations and ruin your air fryer. Brioche has a rich, eggy flavor that complements the creamy custard well.
