Yogurt Toast with Fresh Berries and Honey Recipe

Introduction

This yogurt toast is a delightful twist on traditional toast, combining creamy Greek yogurt custard with fresh berries on thick, hearty bread. It’s a perfect breakfast or snack that’s both satisfying and easy to make.

A single slice of toasted bread forms the base layer, its light golden-brown crust framing a soft, slightly crispy texture. On top, a thick smooth layer of pale yellow custard spread evenly covers the toast. Scattered over the custard are fresh berries: deep purple blueberries, red raspberries with their bumpy texture, and thin slices of bright red strawberries showing their seeds and juicy interiors. A drizzle of clear honey with a shiny, sticky texture stretches across the fruit and custard, catching light and adding a glossy finish. The toast rests on crinkled white parchment paper with a subtle marbled texture beneath it, surrounded by a few loose berries, including raspberries and blueberries.

Ingredients

  • 2 thick slices of bread such as brioche, wheat, or sourdough
  • 1/4 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup, agave, honey, or melted chocolate, plus more for drizzling
  • Pinch of cinnamon
  • Blueberries, strawberries, and/or raspberries, for topping
  • Powdered sugar, toasted oats, dried coconut, chocolate shavings (all optional), for serving

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat an oven to 400ºF or an air fryer to 375ºF. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup, and cinnamon until smooth.
  2. Step 2: Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, gently press into the center of each bread slice to create a well without tearing the bread. Divide the yogurt custard evenly between the two bread slices, filling the wells. Top each with your choice of fresh berries.
  3. Step 3: If using an oven: Place the prepared bread slices on a baking sheet and bake for 10 to 13 minutes, or until the custard is set and the bread is golden brown.
  4. Step 4: If using an air fryer: Carefully place the bread slices in the air fryer basket and cook for 7 to 10 minutes until the custard is set and the bread is golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Transfer the yogurt toast to a plate and drizzle with extra maple syrup, honey, or melted chocolate. Optionally, finish with a dusting of powdered sugar, toasted oats, dried coconut, or chocolate shavings.

Tips & Variations

  • For extra flavor, add a drop of vanilla extract to the custard mixture before baking.
  • Use gluten-free bread if needed to accommodate dietary restrictions.
  • Swap fresh berries with sliced bananas, peaches, or pomegranate seeds for a different fresh topping.
  • To make it vegan, replace the egg with a flax egg and use a plant-based yogurt.

Storage

Yogurt toast is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or air fryer to keep the bread crisp and warm the custard.

How to Serve

A single slice of toasted bread with a golden-brown crust serves as the base, covered in a creamy light yellow custard layer that looks smooth and glossy. On top, there are scattered fresh berries: bright red raspberries, dark purple blueberries, and slices of red strawberries, all slightly sunken into the custard. The toast is placed on crinkled parchment paper with a white marbled texture faintly visible underneath, and a small drizzle of clear syrup glistens on the surface.

FAQs

Can I use any type of bread for yogurt toast?

Yes, thick slices of sturdy bread like brioche, sourdough, or wheat work best as they hold the custard well without falling apart.

What can I substitute for Greek yogurt?

You can use regular yogurt, but Greek yogurt’s thickness helps create a firm custard. For a thinner yogurt, strain it through a cheesecloth to thicken before using.
