Ingredients You’ll Need for Yogurt Toast
- 2 thick slices brioche or sourdough bread
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of cinnamon
- 1/2 cup fresh berries (blueberries or sliced strawberries)
- Extra honey, for drizzling
How to Make Baked Yogurt Toast
- Preheat the oven or air fryer to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg, honey, vanilla, and cinnamon until smooth.
- Place the bread slices on the baking sheet and use the back of a spoon to press a shallow well into the center of each slice, leaving a border.
- Spoon the yogurt mixture into the wells, spreading it to the edges of the crust.
- Top with the fresh berries, pressing them gently into the yogurt.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the yogurt is set and the edges of the bread are golden.
- Let the toast cool for 2 minutes, then drizzle with honey.
- Serve warm, ideally with a fork and knife.
Tips for the Best Yogurt Toast
- Use thick-cut bread so it holds the yogurt mixture without turning soggy.
- Choose full-fat Greek yogurt for the creamiest, most custard-like texture.
- Press a well into the bread so the yogurt does not spill over the sides.
- Do not overbake; the yogurt should be set but still jiggle slightly.
Variations to Try
- Spread peanut butter on the bread first for a PB and banana version
- Top with sliced peaches and a pinch of nutmeg for a summery twist
- Add a swirl of jam on top of the yogurt before baking
- Use cocoa powder in the yogurt and top with raspberries for chocolate yogurt toast
How to Store It
Yogurt toast is best eaten warm right after baking. Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in a 350°F oven or air fryer for 5 minutes.
This recipe does not freeze well, as the custard topping turns watery once thawed.
