What is Yogurt Toast?

Yogurt toast is a new way of eating yogurt that's been trending for the past few weeks. The idea behind it is simple: combine some plain yogurt with an egg to make a custard - add it to your favourite bread and then top with whatever fruit you like. It's very similar to baked French toast. However, I like to think of it as a "French toast recipe on steroids"!

Why you'll love this recipe

• It's a simple recipe. If you're looking for a quick and easy breakfast recipe or something different for brunch, then yogurt toast is a perfect choice. It's as easy as mixing, topping and baking!
• It tastes great. It's creamy with just the right amount of sweetness (your taste buds will thank you!).
• It's flexible. You can make the recipe high protein, you can adjust the toppings for whatever is in season, and you can top it with whatever fruit you like. Think of the recipe as a blank canvas to add your own spin on it.
• It's fun! No more boring breakfasts or boring toast! Get creative and experiment with your favourite toppings and flavours.

What goes into this recipe

• Bread - I've chosen brioche bread for this recipe. I love its rich flavour and how decadent it is.
• Greek Yogurt - Full fat plain Greek yogurt all the way for me.
• Egg - Medium-sized weighing 60 grams.
• Vanilla Extract - a small amount of vanilla extract adds a nice flavour to the custard.
• Honey - used for drizzling and mixing into the yogurt.
• Blueberries - This is my choice for topping the yogurt toast.

Ingredient notes and substitutions

• Bread - swap out the brioche for your favourite type of bread (white, wholewheat, seeded, gluten-free etc..). I think a thicker sliced bread works better for toast as it allows to hold the yogurt custard.  
• Lower fat and flavoured yogurts also work well.
• Honey is my choice of sweetener; however, don't be afraid to change it up and use maple syrup, agave syrup or even a date syrup. Stevia and regular sugar are good options as well.
• If you're counting macros, then use the egg whites only. Alternatively, if you like rich flavours, use egg yolk only.
• Any fresh berries, fresh or frozen fruit or canned fruit would work well.
• Add a scoop of protein powder to the yogurt to make it high protein.
• A tablespoon of peanut butter added to the yogurt or drizzled on top adds a lovely nutty flavour.
• Add one tablespoon of chocolate chips to make the kids happy!

How to make this recipe

• Step 1: Preheat oven or air fryer to 180 deg C (350 F). Take 2 slices of bread and place them on a lined baking sheet.

• Step 2: Using the back of a spoon (or a fork), press the bread down to create a well or a "pocket" (this will hold the yogurt custard mixture).
• Step 3: In a medium bowl, mix one tablespoon of the honey, vanilla extract, egg and yogurt until smooth.

• Step 4: Gently pour or spoon the yogurt/egg mixture onto the bread (ensure it reaches the edges).
• Step 5: Top with blueberries or your favourite fruit.

Step 6: Bake for 15 minutes or air fry for 10 minutes until golden brown and the custard has set. Serve immediately drizzled with extra honey and powdered sugar.

Expert tips

• Make sure the bread is dry before adding the yogurt custard. This helps prevent the custard from soaking through the bread.
• Don't overfill the pockets. Too much liquid makes the bread soggy, and it will overflow, causing a mess!
• A toaster oven works just as well as a regular oven or air fryer.
