This Custard Yogurt Toast is a tasty breakfast or snack that brings together creamy yogurt and sweet custard on golden toast. It’s simple and yummy!
You can’t go wrong with this combo! I love adding fruits on top for a little extra fun. It’s like having dessert for breakfast, and who wouldn’t want that? 😋
Making it is a breeze—just spread the yogurt and custard on the toast, pop it under the broiler for a bit, and you’re ready to enjoy a delicious treat!
Key Ingredients & Substitutions
Bread: I recommend using thick slices of brioche or Texas toast for a soft and fluffy base. If you’re looking for something healthier, whole grain or gluten-free bread works well too.
Greek Yogurt: Plain or vanilla yogurt adds creaminess. If you’re lactose intolerant, swap with a dairy-free yogurt like almond or coconut. I’ve tried both, and they taste great!
Custard: Store-bought pastry custard is a time-saver, but homemade is fantastic if you have time. You can also use a thick pudding for a quick substitute.
Fruits: Fresh raspberries and strawberries work great here, but feel free to mix it up! Blueberries, blackberries, or even banana slices can add a different flavor.
How Do I Get the Perfect Toast Texture?
Toasting the bread properly makes all the difference. Here’s how to get that perfect crunch:
- Preheat your skillet or griddle to medium heat; this ensures even cooking.
- Use butter or oil generously on both sides of the bread for a golden finish.
- Toast each slice for about 2-3 minutes per side until it’s golden and crispy. Don’t rush it—it’s worth the wait!
Enjoying warm, crispy toast topped with creamy goodness is what this recipe is all about!

How Much Time Will You Need?
This delightful Custard Yogurt Toast takes about 10-15 minutes to prepare, including toasting the bread and assembling the layers. It’s a quick treat that feels special, perfect for breakfast or brunch!
Step-by-Step Instructions:
1. Preparing the Bread:
Start by heating a skillet or a griddle over medium heat. While it’s heating up, lightly butter or oil both sides of each thick slice of your bread. This will help achieve that wonderfully crispy texture once toasted!
2. Toasting the Bread:
Place the bread slices in the skillet and toast them for about 2-3 minutes on each side. You want them golden and crispy! Once they’re done, transfer them to a serving board or plates and let them cool slightly.
3. Spreading the Yogurt:
Now it’s time for the fun part! Spread the Greek yogurt evenly over each slice of toast. The yogurt adds a creamy layer that’s refreshing and delicious.
4. Adding the Custard:
Dollop or pipe the custard on top of the yogurt layer on both slices. You want a generous layer of custard—this will make each bite creamy and sweet.
5. Topping with Fruits:
On one slice, arrange fresh raspberries and sliced strawberries beautifully on top of the custard. On the other slice, sprinkle the mini chocolate chips evenly for a delightful chocolatey touch.
6. Drizzling Sweetness:
Drizzle honey or maple syrup over both slices. This adds a sweet gloss that makes the toast look and taste even more tempting!
7. Final Touches:
Lightly dust both toast slices with powdered sugar for that perfect finishing touch, making them look even more delicious!
8. Serve and Enjoy:
Serve your Custard Yogurt Toast immediately while the toast is warm and the toppings are fresh. Enjoy every creamy, sweet bite of this delightful treat!
This recipe beautifully combines the creaminess of yogurt and custard on crunchy toasted brioche, enhanced by fresh berries, chocolate chips, and a touch of honey sweetness—perfect for starting your day with a smile!
Can I Use Different Types of Bread?
Absolutely! While brioche or Texas toast gives the best texture, feel free to use whole grain or gluten-free bread if you prefer a healthier or gluten-free option. Just make sure the slices are thick enough to hold up the toppings!
How Do I Store Leftovers?
If you have any leftovers, store the components separately in airtight containers in the fridge. The bread should be kept at room temperature to maintain its crispiness. Assemble the toast again when you’re ready to eat for the best texture.
What Can I Substitute for Custard?
If you don’t have custard on hand, thick vanilla pudding makes a great substitute. You can also make a quick version by mixing milk, sugar, and cornstarch for a homemade custard-like texture.
Can I Make This Ahead of Time?
While the toast is best served fresh, you can prepare the yogurt and custard layers ahead of time. Just keep them in the fridge until you’re ready to toast the bread and assemble the dish!
