Custard Yogurt Toast Recipe: 15-Minute Breakfast Bliss

Question 1

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Accepted Answer

You sure can, but here's the scoop - regular yogurt makes a thinner custard since it lacks Greek yogurt's thickness. My grandma (who actually tried making this with her homemade yogurt!) suggested straining regular yogurt through cheesecloth for 30 minutes first. Or, add an extra tablespoon of flour to the mix if you're in a hurry. It won't be quite as protein-packed, but still delicious!

Question 2

How do I store leftover custard yogurt toast?

Accepted Answer

Leftovers? Ha! That hardly happens in my house. But when it does, here's how I handle it: Let the toast cool completely, then wrap tightly in foil or store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. To reheat, pop it in the toaster oven at 300°F for about 5 minutes - the custard gets creamy again and the bread stays crisp. WARNING: Attempting to microwave turns it into a sad, soggy mess. Learned that the hard way!

Question 3

Is this breakfast custard toast freezer-friendly?

Accepted Answer

Surprisingly yes - with one catch! Freeze before adding any fruit toppings. Wrap each toast individually in plastic wrap, then foil, and freeze for up to a month. To enjoy, thaw overnight in the fridge first, then toast at 325°F until heated through (about 8 minutes). The custard texture changes slightly, but it's still way better than frozen waffles when you need a quick breakfast!

Question 4

What's the best bread for air fryer yogurt toast?

Accepted Answer

After testing basically every bread in existence (my grocery bill last month was ridiculous), thick-cut brioche or Texas toast works best in the air fryer - it holds up to the intense heat without drying out. Pro tip: Cut slices about 1-inch thick for maximum custard capacity. Trying to use thin sandwich bread in the air fryer gives you something closer to yogurt croutons. Not ideal unless that's your thing!

Question 5

Can I make this high protein toast ahead for meal planning?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! My Sunday nights often involve prepping custard mix for the week. Mix everything except the egg, then stir in the egg just before baking. The yogurt mixture keeps covered in the fridge for 3 days. Game changer for busy mornings - just spoon onto bread and bake while you're getting ready. Some mornings I'll even make extra toasts and refrigerate - they reheat surprisingly well for up to 3 days.
