Ingredients
Scale
Custard Mixture
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
Bread and Toppings
- 2 slices thick-cut bread (brioche or sourdough preferred)
- ¼ cup fresh fruit (sliced strawberries, blueberries, or banana)
- Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the custard mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Create wells in the bread: Using the back of a spoon, gently press down the center of each bread slice to form a shallow well, ensuring the edges remain intact to hold the custard.
- Fill the bread with custard and add fruit: Spoon the custard mixture into the wells of each slice, then top with your choice of fresh fruit, such as sliced strawberries, blueberries, or banana.
- Air fry the custard toast: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C). Place the custard-filled bread slices in the air fryer basket, working in batches if necessary. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the custard is set and the bread edges turn golden and crisp.
- Serve and garnish: Remove the toast from the air fryer and let it cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar if desired before serving for an extra touch of sweetness.
Notes
- Add a pinch of cinnamon to the custard mixture for extra flavor.
- Use slightly stale or thicker slices of bread to prevent sogginess and hold the custard better.
- Customize with your favorite fruits or add a dollop of nut butter after air frying for variation.
