Custard Toast / Yogurt Toast recipes are plastered everywhere lately, you noticed that too? Just scrolling socials and honestly, I couldn’t keep ignoring those creamy topped slices for breakfast (or lunch… or sneaky dessert, no judgment). But between the pretty videos and the mountain of tips tossed around, it’s easy to feel like you need a degree to make some simple yogurt toast. Visiting sites like AmuseRecipes is my go-to for demystifying food trends and the Ultimate Guide to Hellmann’s Potato Salad helped last time I got stuck, so here I am, ready to break this trendy breakfast down for actual people who get hungry and hate washing extra dishes.

What is custard yogurt toast?

Here’s the honest breakdown. Custard yogurt toast (or just “yogurt toast” when you want to save syllables) is basically a fast, fun bake where you smoosh a little dent in your bread, pile in a creamy yogurt mix, add your favorite toppings, and bake. Seriously, that’s it!

It started with viral videos and now, suddenly, everyone has a version. Some say it’s a fancy French toast cheat. Others call it “breakfast pizza’s sweet cousin.” I say it’s the low-key hero for mornings when you want something fancy-ish but can’t be bothered with a mile-long ingredient list.

The real magic, though? That custard center. Warm, creamy, and kind of like dessert—but not over-the-top rich. Kids and picky adults both seem to love it. No wonder it’s blowing up.

To be totally clear—this isn’t your old-school flan or pudding style custard. It’s more like a hack, turning yogurt and egg into a soft, slightly gooey middle you’ll want to eat with a fork and your hands.

Ingredients to make Custard Yogurt Toast

Let’s keep it real—half the charm is that you don’t need anything wild or expensive here. You’re literally raiding your fridge and pantry for these.

You’ll want:

Bread (anything sturdy, like sourdough or brioche—boring white sandwich bread might get a little too floppy)
Yogurt (Greek yogurt for thick and creamy, but plain works too)
Egg (just one, trust me)
Maple syrup or honey (for that sweet kick)
A splash of vanilla extract (don’t overthink it)
Toppings—berries, bananas, a couple chocolate chips, or whatever you’re craving

Literally, you could make this right now with what’s left after last week’s grocery run. Some folks go for fancier spreads (Nutella lovers, I see you). But this basic custard yogurt toast setup is perfect even if your fridge is embarrassingly empty.

Don’t worry about the yogurt—low fat, full fat, dairy-free, whatever, it’ll do the job. The only thing you have to use is the egg, unless you’re vegan, then…well, that’s a whole other ballgame.

If you want breakfast that feels almost like dessert but without the guilt or a sugar crash, custard yogurt toast nails it every time. Even my picky eater asks for seconds.—Jenny H.

Variations and Add-ins

Let’s get creative. Here’s where you can run wild, or, you know, use up whatever is about to expire in your fridge. Some of the best custard yogurt toast creations come from random improvisation.

If you’re over berries, go savory—cheddar, spinach, and a sprinkle of black pepper makes for a killer lunch toast. Chopped apples and a dusting of cinnamon are non-negotiable fall weather picks. Saw someone on YouTube add swirl of apple cinnamon jam—that was next level.

You could crumble in some graham crackers, sprinkle cocoa, or, heck, get fancy with a swirl of nut butter. No wrong answers. My kitchen has seen peanut butter and even leftover roasted sweet potato on these toasts (it works, swear).

People also dress it up with:

Diced peaches or nectarines when it’s hot out
Chopped nuts for a bit of crunch (almonds? Yes, please)
A dash of lemon zest for a bright, zingy twist

Moral of the story? If it can fit on toast, it’ll work. Probably.

Step-by-Step Instructions

So, you’re ready to go all “viral tiktok chef” but without a ring light. Here’s what actually works in a regular old kitchen:

First, grab a slice of bread. With the back of a spoon, press down in the center to make a bit of a well (not too hard—think “shallow swimming pool”). In a small bowl, whisk together an egg, about three tablespoons of Greek yogurt, a little (like, a teaspoon) of honey or maple syrup, and a drop of vanilla.

Spoon this mixture onto your bread’s crater. Try to keep it from spilling off the edge—no one likes baked-on yogurt cement on their cookie sheet. Drop your toppings right onto the custard and pop that beauty in a 350°F oven. About ten to twelve minutes should do it.

The edges will go golden and the center should wiggle slightly when touched (like that jiggly cheesecake look). Let it cool for a few before digging in. Trust me, burns on the roof of your mouth make breakfast less fun.

Tips for Success

I’ve had plenty of fails (no shame). Here’s what I wish I’d figured out sooner:

Use sturdy bread—ain’t nobody got time for soggy, collapsing toast.
Don’t overfill. That custard mixture spreads as it bakes, so stick close to the “well” you made in the bread.
Add toppings before baking if you like them warm and gooey (berries, chocolate); add after for crunch (nuts, granola).
Keep an eye on it. Ovens run hot and nobody likes burnt bottoms.

For real—if you mess up, it still tastes good. Just scrape the crispy bits and pretend it was planned.

Serving Suggestions

Don’t overthink serving, but if you want ideas, here’s a few:

Pair with a hot cup of coffee—total win for lazy mornings.
Add a dollop of extra yogurt on the side—creamy never hurts.
Sprinkle with extra fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of maple syrup—just for that “five-star restaurant” vibe.

Serve warm for the best texture—honestly, I even eat it out of the pan. No judgment.

Common Questions

Can I make this ahead of time?
Not really. Custard yogurt toast is 100 times better fresh. If you have leftovers, give ’em a quick toast-up in the oven.

Can I use non-dairy yogurt?
Oh, for sure. Almond, coconut, oat, whatever—just use what you like.

Why is my toast soggy?
Bread too thin or too much yogurt mix. Next time, use thicker bread and less custard.

My custard looks weird. Did I mess up?
Probably not. It goes a little golden and puffy. If it smells good, you’re golden.

Can I skip the egg?
For a classic version, you need the egg. But you can try a little cornstarch or vegan egg replacers… results will vary!

Give it a Go—You Won’t Regret It

So, there it is—the whole scoop on trendy, delicious custard yogurt toast that you can actually pull off any day. Play with toppings, trust your tastebuds, ignore the perfection you see online.
