Ingredients

• 1 cup Greek yogurt

• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for topping)

Instructions

1. Step 1: Preheat the air fryer to 380°F while you prepare the custard mixture.
2. Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey, and egg until smooth.
3. Step 3: Using a spoon, gently press the center of each brioche slice to create a shallow well for the custard.
4. Step 4: Spoon the yogurt custard evenly into the wells of each toast slice.
5. Step 5: Scatter the sliced strawberries and blueberries on top. Feel free to swap in your favorite berries if you prefer.
6. Step 6: Place the prepared toasts in the air fryer basket and bake for 10 minutes.
7. Step 7: Carefully remove the toasts and sprinkle with powdered sugar. You can also drizzle additional honey or maple syrup if desired before serving with extra fruit.

Tips & Variations

• For a dairy-free version, try using coconut yogurt instead of Greek yogurt.
• Swap brioche for challah or thick-cut white bread for similar results.
• Add a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the custard mixture for extra flavor.
• If you don’t have an air fryer, use the oven method by baking at 400°F for 10–15 minutes on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

Storage

Store any leftover custard toast in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer or oven to maintain crispiness, or microwave briefly if preferred. Freshen by adding extra fruit before serving.

How to Serve

Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, but Greek yogurt’s thickness helps hold the custard better. If using regular yogurt, drain some liquid or expect a slightly softer filling.

Can this recipe be made vegan?

To make it vegan, substitute the egg with a flax egg and use plant-based yogurt and sweeteners. Keep in mind texture and flavor may vary slightly.

Ingredients

Scale 1x2x3x

Custard Mixture

• 1 cup Greek yogurt
• 3 tablespoons honey (or substitute with 2 tablespoons maple syrup)
• 1 large egg

Fruit Topping

• ¼ cup blueberries
• 2 strawberries, cut in half and thinly sliced

Bread and Garnish

• 4 slices brioche bread
• 1 tablespoon powdered sugar (for topping)

Instructions

1. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 380°F and allow it to preheat while you prepare the custard and bread.
2. Mix Custard: In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), and the egg until smooth and fully combined. This mixture will serve as the custard filling for the bread.
3. Prepare Brioche Slices: Using a spoon, gently press down the centers of each brioche slice to create a shallow well or cavity. This will hold the custard without spilling over during cooking.
4. Fill with Custard: Spoon the yogurt custard mixture evenly into the wells of each brioche slice, ensuring each slice gets an ample amount of filling.
5. Add Fruit Toppings: Arrange the thinly sliced strawberries and blueberries on top of the custard in each toast. You can substitute these berries for your favorites if desired.
6. Air Fry the Toasts: Place the prepared toasts into the air fryer basket and cook at 380°F for 10 minutes. The custard should set, and the bread will become golden and crisp.
7. Finish and Serve: Carefully remove the toasts from the air fryer. Dust them with powdered sugar or drizzle additional honey or maple syrup on top. Serve warm with extra fresh fruit on the side for a delicious, fresh finish.
8. Alternative Oven Method: Preheat the oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Follow the same custard preparation and bread filling steps. Place the toasts on the baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes until custard sets and bread is toasted. Remove and garnish as above.

Notes

• You can substitute honey with maple syrup for a different flavor or to keep it vegan friendly if using a vegan egg substitute.
• Choose your favorite berries or fruits for topping to customize the recipe.
• Press the brioche centers gently to avoid tearing the bread but enough to hold the custard securely.
• The air fryer provides a quicker alternative to the oven with a similarly crisp texture.
• Serve immediately for the best texture and flavor, as the custard is best enjoyed warm and slightly runny.
