Baked bread filled with creamy yogurt custard and topped with fresh strawberries, blueberries, and banana slices.

# What You'll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 4 slices thick-cut brioche or challah bread

→ Yogurt Custard

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

# How to Make It:

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

# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It looks like you spent hours preparing breakfast when really it took 25 minutes start to finish.
  • The yogurt custard stays silky inside while the bread edges get crispy and golden—textural magic in every bite.
  • You can swap the fruit based on what's ripe in your kitchen, so it never gets boring.
02 -
  • The custard will look slightly underdone when you pull it from the oven, but it continues to set as it cools—pulling it out too early is fine, pulling it out too late results in a dense, rubbery texture.
  • If your bread is thin or soft, the weight of the custard and fruit might cause it to collapse, so stick with thick-cut bread or accept that it might look rustic (which is fine and honestly more charming).
03 -
  • Whisk the custard until it's absolutely smooth; lumps of yogurt won't cook out and they'll remind you of the extra effort every time you bite down.
  • If you're dairy-free, coconut yogurt works beautifully and a flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed plus 3 tablespoons water, mixed and rested for 5 minutes) is a solid substitute—your toast will bake up slightly less custardy but still delicious.
