Golden Custard Yogurt Toast is the viral TikTok recipe that truly deserves its fame. Thick brioche slices hold a creamy yogurt custard that bakes until golden. Each piece is then topped with fresh berries and finished with a light dusting of powdered sugar. The result is a breakfast that feels indulgent yet nourishing—perfect for mornings when you want something special without spending hours in the kitchen.
What makes this toast so popular is its simplicity. With just a few everyday ingredients—Greek yogurt, an egg, honey, and brioche—you can turn a basic breakfast into a bakery-worthy treat. As the custard sets in the oven, each bite becomes silky smooth while the bread edges stay crisp and buttery.
Custard-style breads have been loved across cultures for centuries, from French clafoutis to Japanese custard buns. This modern twist brings old comfort into today’s kitchen, proving that timeless flavors never go out of style.
Recipe Yield: 4 servings
INGREDIENTS
4 slices brioche bread, thick cut
½ cup plain Greek yogurt
1 large egg
2 tbsp honey
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
½ tsp lemon zest
1 cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
Powdered sugar, for dusting
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Preheat and prepare:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Make the custard:
In a medium bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, egg, honey, vanilla, and lemon zest until smooth and creamy.
3. Prepare the bread:
Use the back of a spoon to gently press the centers of each brioche slice, creating a shallow well without tearing through the bread.
4. Fill with custard:
Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the yogurt custard mixture into the center of each slice, spreading evenly within the well.
5. Add berries:
Top each slice with fresh berries, gently pressing them into the custard so they bake in place. If you prefer a fresher bite, you can skip this step and instead add the berries after baking, just before serving.
6. Bake until golden:
Arrange prepared slices on the baking sheet. Bake for 15–18 minutes, until custard is set and bread edges are golden.
7. Finish and serve:
Remove from oven, cool slightly, and dust with powdered sugar before serving warm.
Helpful Tips to Perfect This Recipe
- Choose the Right Bread: Thick slices of brioche or challah are ideal because they hold the custard without getting soggy.
- Balance the Sweetness: The honey adds natural sweetness, but you can adjust with more or less depending on your taste or use maple syrup.
- Make It Seasonal: Swap berries for sliced peaches in summer, figs in fall, or even spiced apples in winter to enjoy this toast all year.
