Why You’ll Love This Recipe
This recipe is incredibly fast, taking less than 10 minutes from start to finish.
It uses just a few basic ingredients you likely already have at home.
The texture is soft and custardy without tasting eggy.
It’s versatile and customizable with endless topping options.
It works equally well in an air fryer or a regular oven.
Ingredients
(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)
2 to 3 slices soft bread (white bread, sourdough, whole grain, or brioche all work well)
1 large egg
3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
2 to 3 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
Optional toppings
50 g fresh raspberries
10 g dark chocolate chips
Additional maple syrup for drizzling after baking
Directions
Preheat your air fryer or oven to 180°C / 350°F.
In a small bowl, add the egg, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup or honey. Whisk well until smooth and runny, with no visible egg streaks.
Place the bread slices on a flat surface. Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, gently press into the center of each slice to create a shallow well without tearing the bread.
Spoon the custard mixture evenly into the indented centers of the bread.
Add your chosen toppings, such as raspberries or dark chocolate chips, on top of the custard.
For air fryer cooking, place the toast in the air fryer basket and cook for 4 to 5 minutes until the custard is set and the edges are lightly golden.
For oven cooking, place the toast on a baking tray lined with baking paper and bake for 8 to 12 minutes, depending on your oven strength.
Remove from heat once the custard is set and slightly caramelized around the edges. Drizzle with extra maple syrup if desired and serve warm.
