TikTok Yogurt Custard Toast

I am jumping on the tiktok bandwagon and the custard toast frenzy. As always with anything that goes viral, there are dozens of recipes now online for this French toast cousin breakfast dish, each similar, yet each different with changes to ingredients. This is my version - lemony and creamy, super easy to make and really delicious!

I used slices of soft crusty bread. You could use plain white bread or a whole wheat bread – as long as it’s soft to push down the middle of the bread to made a shallow well to hold the custard. You could use a gluten free bread if it is thick and dense enough.

Flavoured Greek yogurt (I used lemon flavoured in this recipe) has dairy, of course.  You could try this with a coconut yogurt (if it is on the firm side and not runny as I know coconut yogurt to be) to make it dairy free.  Greek Yogurt is higher in protein than regular yogurt, is a good source of calcium, VitB12, Riboflavin (VitB2) and selenium as well as VitA, zinc and potassium.  Plain Greek yogurt is low in carbs and has little sugar – the flavoured varieties have more sugar so eat them in moderation.

As always, when you make this recipe, I would love to see your creation so please post a photo of your TikTok Yogurt Custard Toast goodness and tag my IG account #RenataCollective or leave a comment with your thoughts!

Prep Time: 5 minutes / Cook Time: 15  minutes / Makes: 2-3 servings

Ingredients - In my zeal to make and document this recipe I forgot a few ingredients in the photos!

  • 5-6 Pieces of Crusty Bread - cut about ½" thick

  • 1 Cup Lemon Yogurt

  • 1 Egg

  • 1 Tablespoon Maple Syrup – and more to drizzle on when serving

  • 1 teaspoon Lemon Juice (Not in the photos)

  • 1 teaspoon Vanilla (Not in the photos)

  • ½ teaspoon Ground Cinnamon (Not in the photos)

  • 1½ teaspoon Lemon Zest – and additional to sprinkle on top (Not in the photos)

  • Fresh Fruit of your choice – small diced apple, blueberries and strawberries as in the photos

  • Powdered Sugar – to sprinkle on when serving

How It’s Made

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F.

  • Line a baking sheet with a silicon sheet or parchment paper.

  • Lay the slices of bread on the prepared baking sheet.

  • With the back of a large spoon or a study flat-bottomed glass (as in the photo) press the soft bread down to form a shallow well. If the bread bounces back up, push it down again just before spooning the custard mixture in.

  • In a medium bowl, whisk together the yogurt, egg, maple syrup, lemon juice, vanilla, cinnamon and lemon zest.

  • Pour the yogurt mixture into the well that you made into the slices of bread.

  • Top with the fresh fruit and sprinkle a bit of lemon zest on each piece.

  • Bake for 15 minutes and check the toasts. They will be a bit wet in the center but should be firm on the edges. If you want to bake a little longer, check again after 3-5 minutes.

  • Remove from the oven and serve right away. Drizzle with some maple syrup and a sprinkle some icing sugar over top.

  • Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days and can be eaten cold, or heated up in the microwave or oven (350°F for ~10 minutes.

Enjoy!

Variations

You can make these in ramekins as well - grease the ramekin, put a piece of bread in the bottom, then add the custard, top with your fruit of choice and bake as above, for 375°F for 15 minutes, check and bake 3-5 minutes longer if it’s not set yet. When done, remove form the oven, cool for a couple of minutes, top with a drizzle of maple syrup and a sprinkle of icing sugar and enjoy! Leftover ramekin ones are great cold, or to reheat, scoop them out of the ramekin and reheat in the microwave or in the oven on a baking sheet at 350°F for ~10 minutes.
