Viral Custard Toast Recipe by Kat Lieu

( 0 reviews )

IngredientsUSMetric

• 2 to 3 tablespoons any plain Greek yogurt
• 2 tablespoons of liquid sweetener like honey, maple syrup, or agave
• 1 large egg (about 50 g)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
• A pinch of salt, optional
• Any fresh berries
• 2 thick slices of bread (brioche, milk bread, or soft bread)
• Matcha powder, about 1/2 teaspoon, sifted (optional, if making the matcha version)

Instructions

1. Pre-heat the air fryer or oven to 350°F. Use the back of a spoon to press down the center of the bread to make a well for the custard, and set aside.
2. In a bowl, mix together the yogurt, sweetener, egg, optional vanilla extract and salt. If making the matcha version, sift and mix in the matcha powder as well. Spoon the custard into the center of each slice of bread and top with berries, decorate in any pattern as you please.
3. Air fry for 6 to 7 minutes or bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes. The custard should be set and starting to slightly brown on the top. A lovely scent will fill the kitchen! Allow the toast to cool for a few minutes, slice, and enjoy. Optionally dust on some confectioners’ sugar or matcha powder.

Notes

To make a vegan version of this toast, use vegan Greek yogurt, and substitute the egg with 50 g of silken or soft tofu.
