Toast with Simple Egg Custard (Custard Yoghurt Toast)

Seen this one all over the internet — turns out it's actually worth making. Crispy toast with a creamy, slightly sweet egg custard baked right in.

Instructions

  1. 1

    Whisk together the egg, Greek yoghurt, and honey until smooth.

  2. 2

    Use the back of a tablespoon to press a small hollow into the middle of each bread slice, then spoon the egg mixture into each hollow.

  3. 3

    Top with sliced strawberries or chocolate pieces — you can also use raspberries, blueberries, apricot slices, or peach slices.

  4. 4

    Bake on a baking paper-lined tray or in an oven-safe dish at 180 °C for about 10 minutes, until the custard has set.

Tips from the kitchen

  • Press the hollow gently with the back of a spoon. Push too hard and you'll tear through the slice, so go slow and stretch the bread instead of breaking it.
  • Don't overfill the hollows. A tablespoon of custard per slice is plenty, otherwise it spills over the edges and runs across the tray before it sets.
  • Whisk the egg, yoghurt, and honey until you can't see any streaks. Lumps of yoghurt won't set the same way and you'll get a patchy custard.
  • Slice the strawberries thin so they soften in the 10 minutes rather than sitting cold on top. Press them lightly into the custard so they don't slide off.
  • The custard is done when the center looks set and no longer wobbles when you nudge the tray. If it still jiggles, give it another minute or two.

Ways to vary it

  • Swap the strawberries for raspberries, blueberries, or thin apricot and peach slices depending on what's in season.
  • If you're going sweeter, the chocolate pieces melt into the custard nicely. You could also do half fruit, half chocolate across the four slices.
  • A pinch of cinnamon whisked into the egg mixture works well, especially with the chocolate version.

Storage & leftovers

Best eaten warm the day you make it, while the toast still has some crunch. It keeps in the fridge for up to two days in a sealed container, but the bread softens. Reheat in a hot oven or toaster oven for a few minutes rather than the microwave, which turns it rubbery. I wouldn't freeze it.

What to serve with it

A cup of coffee or tea is all it needs for breakfast. If you want more on the plate, add a few extra berries or a spoon of yoghurt on the side.
