Custard Yogurt Toast Recipe

ByAiden Wells December 19, 2025December 19, 2025

Introduction

Custard yogurt toast is a delightful twist on traditional toast, combining creamy custard made from yogurt and egg with your favorite toppings. This simple, versatile recipe works for both sweet and savory preferences, making it a perfect quick breakfast or snack.

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 such as 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 optional add-ins until the mixture is smooth.
Step 3: Arrange the bread slices on a lined baking sheet. Using your hand or the back of a spoon, gently press a dent in the center of each slice, leaving about 1/2 inch border without breaking the bread.
Step 4: Spoon the custard mixture into the dented area on each bread slice, then add your preferred toppings.
Step 5: Bake in the oven or toaster oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the custard is set and the bread is nicely toasted.

Tips & Variations

For a richer custard, use full-fat yogurt or add a splash of cream.
Try cinnamon and mashed bananas for a sweet toast variation with natural sweetness.
For savory toast, experiment with herbs like thyme or parsley and savory toppings such as smoked salmon or feta cheese.
Use gluten-free or whole grain bread to suit dietary preferences.

Storage

Store leftover custard yogurt toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in a toaster oven or regular oven to restore crispiness—avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

Three slices of toasted white bread are laid out on a white marbled surface in a vertical line. The top slice has a creamy pale yellow spread, topped with fresh red raspberries and dark blue blueberries arranged in a scattered pattern. The middle slice shows a light pink layer with bits of red, drizzled with smooth light brown peanut butter. The bottom slice has a creamy yellow mixture with small green broccoli pieces and shredded orange cheese mixed throughout, filling the center of the bread. Each slice has slightly browned edges from toasting. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use flavored yogurt in this recipe?

Yes, flavored yogurts can add extra taste, but be mindful of added sugars if you want a less sweet or savory version.

Is it necessary to make a dent in the bread?

Making a dent keeps the custard filling contained and prevents it from spilling over the edges, ensuring even baking and a neater presentation.
