Ingredients

  • 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla, high-protein)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup fresh fruit (berries, banana slices, or peaches)
  • Optional: nut butter, granola, chocolate chips, cinnamon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven: Set your oven or air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper.
  2. Mix the filling: In a small bowl, whisk together Greek yogurt, egg, maple syrup (or honey), and vanilla extract until smooth.
  3. Prepare the toast: Use the back of a spoon to press down the center of each bread slice, creating a shallow “well” for the filling.
  4. Add the mixture: Spoon the yogurt mixture into the center of each slice, spreading evenly.
  5. Top it off: Add your choice of fruit or toppings—get creative!
  6. Bake: Place the toast on the prepared tray and bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are golden and the center is set.
  7. Serve: Let cool slightly and enjoy warm, drizzled with extra honey or nut butter if desired.

FAQs

Can I use non-dairy yogurt?
Yes! Use almond, soy, or coconut yogurt—just make sure it’s thick and high in protein if desired.

Is it okay to skip the egg?
The egg helps the filling set like custard, but you can omit it for a softer texture.

Which bread works best?
Thicker bread like sourdough, brioche, or multigrain holds up best to the filling.

Can I prep this ahead of time?
You can mix the yogurt custard ahead, but it’s best to assemble and bake fresh.

Is it kid-friendly?
Absolutely! Kids love choosing their own toppings and it’s a nutritious choice.

How much protein does it have?
With Greek yogurt and whole grain bread, each serving can have 15–20g of protein, depending on ingredients used.
