Save A vibrant, creamy take on the viral custard toast, featuring coconut yogurt and a medley of fresh tropical fruits. The perfect balance of crisp, creamy, and fruity goodness for breakfast or brunch.
I first discovered custard toast during the viral trend, and this jazzed-up version has become my go-to for entertaining brunches. Coconut yogurt brings a delightful twist that always surprises guests.
Ingredients
- Thick slices brioche or sturdy sourdough bread: 4 slices
- Egg: 1 large
- Coconut yogurt: 100 g (1/2 cup), unsweetened or lightly sweetened
- Honey or maple syrup: 1 tbsp
- Vanilla extract: 1/2 tsp
- Sea salt: Pinch
- Mango: 1/2, peeled and diced
- Fresh pineapple: 1/2 cup, diced
- Kiwi: 1, peeled and sliced
- Unsweetened shredded coconut: 2 tbsp
- Lime zest: Zest of 1 lime
- Extra honey or maple syrup: for drizzling (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Mix custard:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, coconut yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare bread:
- Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon, gently press down the center of each slice to create a shallow well, leaving a border around the edges.
- Fill wells:
- Spoon the coconut yogurt custard mixture evenly into the wells of each bread slice.
- Bake toast:
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the custard is just set and the bread edges are golden.
- Top and serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top each toast with mango, pineapple, kiwi, and a sprinkle of shredded coconut and lime zest. Drizzle with extra honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately.
