Pin It A vibrant, creamy take on the viral custard toast, featuring coconut yogurt and a medley of fresh tropical fruits. The perfect balance of crisp, creamy, and fruity goodness for breakfast or brunch.
I first tried this recipe during a weekend brunch with friends, and it became an instant favorite. The creamy coconut yogurt custard combined with fresh fruit is always a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients
- Brioche or sturdy sourdough bread: 4 thick slices
- Egg: 1 large
- Coconut yogurt: 100 g (1/2 cup) unsweetened or lightly sweetened
- Honey or maple syrup: 1 tbsp

Instructions
- Prepare oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make custard mixture:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together egg, coconut yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Prepare bread:
- Place bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon, gently press down the center of each slice to create a shallow well, leaving a border around the edges.

- Spoon the coconut yogurt custard mixture evenly into the wells of each bread slice.
- Bake:
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the custard is just set and bread edges are golden.
