Yogurt Toast with Fruit (Printable)

Creamy baked toast with yogurt custard and vibrant fresh fruit topping for a quick breakfast.

# What You Need:

→ Bread

01 - 4 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or challah recommended)

→ Yogurt Custard

02 - 2/3 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
03 - 1 large egg
04 - 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup
05 - 1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

→ Fruit Topping

06 - 1/2 cup sliced strawberries
07 - 1/2 cup blueberries
08 - 1/2 banana, sliced

→ Optional Garnishes

09 - Powdered sugar, for dusting
10 - 2 teaspoons chopped pistachios or almonds

# How-To Steps:

01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Place the bread slices evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - Press down the center of each bread slice with the back of a spoon to form shallow wells, keeping the edges intact.
04 - In a mixing bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
05 - Spoon the yogurt custard evenly into the wells of each bread slice.
06 - Place sliced strawberries, blueberries, and banana over the custard on each toast.
07 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the custard is set and bread edges turn golden brown.
08 - Allow to cool briefly; dust with powdered sugar and sprinkle chopped nuts if desired. Serve warm.

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks impressive enough to serve guests but takes less time than ordering delivery.
  • The warm custard against cold fruit creates this perfect textural contrast that somehow feels fancy and comforting at once.
  • You can use whatever fruit you have on hand, so it's endlessly adaptable to what's in your kitchen.
02 -
  • Don't overbake—the moment you see the custard set is the moment you pull it out, otherwise the bread gets hard and the whole magic disappears.
  • If your fruit is very watery (like thawed frozen berries), pat it dry or it'll make everything soggy and dilute the custard.
03 -
  • Use full-fat Greek yogurt—the low-fat versions can separate or curdle slightly during baking, and you'll taste the difference.
  • If you're making this for guests, you can assemble everything up to the point of baking the night before, then just pop it in the oven while the coffee brews.
