Scale
Base Ingredients
- 3 bread slices
- 1/3 cup yogurt of choice
- 1 egg
- 1–2 teaspoons maple syrup (for sweet toast)
Optional Sweet Add-ins
- Mashed or pureed fruits
- Cinnamon
- Peanut butter
- Lemon zest
- Cocoa powder
Optional Sweet Toppings
- Fresh fruits
- Nuts or seeds
- Shredded coconut
- Chocolate chips
Optional Savory Toppings

Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius) and allow it to reach the desired temperature while you prepare the custard and toast.
- Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg, maple syrup (if making sweet toast), and any additional add-ins like mashed fruits or spices until the mixture is smooth and consistent.
- Prepare the Bread: Place the three bread slices on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Gently use your hand or a spoon’s back to create a shallow dent in the center of each slice, being careful not to tear the bread. Leave a border of about half an inch around each slice to contain the custard.
- Assemble the Toasts: Spoon the custard mixture evenly into each dented area on the bread slices. Add your choice of toppings suitable for sweet or savory versions to enhance flavor and texture.
- Bake Until Set and Toasted: Place the tray in the preheated oven or toaster oven and bake for approximately 10-12 minutes. The custard will set, and the bread will turn toasty and golden brown, indicating they are ready to serve.
Notes
- You can customize the custard with various add-ins and toppings to suit your taste preferences, whether sweet or savory.
- Use thick bread slices to prevent sogginess and hold the custard well.
- Ensure the dent in the bread is shallow enough to hold custard but not break through the slice.
- Leftovers can be refrigerated and gently reheated in the oven for best texture retention.
- For a dairy-free version, use plant-based yogurt and ensure the bread is suitable for your dietary needs.
