Why We Love This Breakfast Hack
- It’s a fun twist on a breakfast classic. Although it is called “custard” toast, there is no cream, sugar, or butter. The Greek yogurt and egg “custard” is actually light and full of filling protein.
- The recipe requires very few ingredients for the base, but the variations are endless. The sky is the limit for creativity with flavors and toppings.
- The Air Fryer cooks the yo in a flash so you and your family can enjoy a special breakfast any day of the week.
- It’s super kid-friendly! For kids who love to help in the kitchen, this is a fun project.
The Viral TikTok Yogurt Toast
If you’re looking for a quick and easy breakfast recipe that the whole family will enjoy, this is your recipe. We’ve had so much fun adding different toppings and the best part is that each person can customize their own. So far nuts, berries, and chocolate have all been a big hit at our house!
Ingredients
This recipe uses a handful of ingredients for the base:
- Egg - Go-to breakfast ingredient
- Greek Yogurt - Thick Greek yogurt makes a perfect base for the custard. You can also use low-fat Greek yogurt or full-fat plain yogurt, although the custard will be a bit thinner and you may have to increase the cooking time by a minute or two.
- Bread - I loved using sliced French brioche for this recipe. You can also use artisan bread or any thick sliced bread that is not too soft.
How to Make Yogurt Custard Toast
- Prepare the egg custard. Crack the egg in a bowl. Add greek yogurt to it and mix well. Add ground cardamom and mix.
- Take one bread slice and press down in the middle using a fork or the back of a spoon to make an indent in the middle without tearing the bread.
- Pour about one-third of the egg custard on the bread.
- Top it with raspberries and pistachios.
- Carefully place the bread slices in the air fryer and cook at 350 F for 5 to 6 minutes. Note: Keep an eye on the bread as some of them may start browning around 4 minutes. In my Cosori air fryer, the custard is fully cooked with crispy brown edges on the bread in 5 minutes.
- Carefully take out the toast from the air fryer basket
Toppings
- Fruits - Berries work really well in this recipe - I used raspberries as they paired well with the cardamom and pistachio flavors.
- Sweetener - Although completely optional, you can sprinkle some powdered sugar white serving or drizzle maple syrup or honey.
Variations and Substitutions
- The original recipe calls for maple syrup or honey in the custard. I changed up mine to skip the sweeteners and instead added some freshly ground cardamom for sweet floral aromas.
- The sweet-tart raspberries and crunchy pistachios add nice contrasting flavors and textures. We also tried blueberries, strawberries, and chocolate chips as toppings for different batches.
- Allergic to nuts? Skip them completely.
- Serve with a drizzle of honey or maple syrup, we enjoyed it with some powdered sugar.
- We used the Air Fryer to cook the toast as in the viral videos, but it can also be made in the oven. See recipe notes for instructions.
Serving
Sprinkle powdered sugar on top while serving or drizzle honey or maple syrup.
Storing
Any leftover toast can be refrigerated. To reheat simply pop them back in a preheated air fryer or oven for 2 minutes.

Any way to make it without eggs?

I have not tested them but you can try with flax eggs, the cooking time will be slightly longer.
