Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Yogurt Topping
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 lemon zest (optional)
Savory Yogurt Topping
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Additional
- Bread slices (4, suitable for toasting)
- Toppings of choice (e.g., ham and cheese for savory, fruits or nuts for sweet)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven or Air Fryer: Preheat your oven or air fryer to 350℉. For oven baking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Yogurt Mixture: In a bowl, whisk together your choice of sweet or savory ingredients (Greek yogurt, egg yolk, and either maple syrup with vanilla and lemon zest for sweet or garlic powder for savory) until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Create a Well in the Bread: Using a spoon, gently press down the center of each bread slice to form a small well that will hold the yogurt custard mixture securely during baking.
- Add Yogurt Filling and Toppings: Spoon a few spoonfuls of the yogurt mixture into the center well of each bread slice. Add any additional desired toppings such as ham and cheese for savory or fruits and nuts for sweet.
- Bake or Air Fry the Toast: If using an air fryer, place the prepared bread slices into the air fryer basket and cook for 5 minutes. If your toppings are thicker, like ham and cheese, extend baking to 6 minutes. For oven baking, arrange the bread on the parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes until the bread is crisp and the yogurt custard is set.
- Garnish: Remove the toast from the heat and garnish with any additional ingredients you enjoy, such as fresh herbs, extra zest, or drizzle of syrup.
- Serve Warm: Serve the yogurt toast warm, enjoying the contrast of the crispy bread and the creamy, warm yogurt filling.
Notes
- Use plain, unsweetened Greek yogurt for the best texture and flavor.
- Adjust the yogurt filling quantity based on the size and thickness of your bread slices.
- The air fryer method is quicker, but oven baking gives a slightly more even crisp.
- Feel free to customize the toppings to suit your taste preferences, sweet or savory.
- For a thicker yogurt custard, ensure the mixture is well whisked and the egg yolk is fully incorporated.
- This toast is best eaten fresh and warm for optimal texture and flavor.
