Air Fryer Yogurt Custard Toast
Indulgent yet quick breakfast featuring creamy yogurt-egg custard on brioche, topped with fresh berries.
Ingredients
For the custard
- 1 cup Greek yogurt Full-fat gives creamier texture; plain or vanilla both work.
- 3 tablespoons honey Or substitute 2 tablespoons maple syrup for a milder flavor.
- 1 large egg Ensure it is cooked to 160°F (71°C) for food safety.
For assembly
- 4 slices brioche bread Thicker slices hold custard best; can substitute challah or Texas toast.
- 1/4 cup blueberries Fresh or thawed from frozen.
- 2 pieces strawberries Halved and thinly sliced.
- 1 tablespoon powdered sugar For topping.
Instructions
Air Fryer Method
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
- In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg, and honey until smooth and slightly frothy.
- Lay brioche slices flat and spoon or brush enough custard onto each slice so the surface is coated; let sit for 30–60 seconds.
- Place slices in the air fryer basket in a single layer with space between them.
- Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 8–10 minutes, watching after 6 minutes until the custard is set and edges are golden.
- Top with blueberries and sliced strawberries and dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Oven Method
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Prepare the custard and soak the brioche as above.
- Arrange slices on the sheet and bake for 12–15 minutes, rotating once, until custard is set and edges are golden.
- Add fruit and powdered sugar, then serve warm.
Notes
Serve warm for the best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Reheat for crisp edges.
