Description
A delightful start to your day with creamy custard and juicy blueberries.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices thick white bread
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or honey
- 1/4 cup fresh blueberries
- Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Instructions
- Begin by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This is a crucial step that ensures your toast bakes evenly. While the oven heats, line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and to make cleanup easy.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the large egg, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup or honey. Use a whisk to blend these ingredients until the mixture is smooth and homogenous. This custard mixture will be the heart of your Blueberry Custard Toast, so take the time to ensure it’s well-mixed.
- Take the slices of thick white bread and place them on the prepared baking sheet. With a spoon, gently press down in the center of each slice to create a shallow well. This step is vital as it allows for the custard to fit into the bread, creating a beautiful presentation as it bakes.
- Carefully pour the custard mixture into the wells you’ve created in the bread slices. Be cautious not to overflow, as too much custard will run off and make a mess. Once the mixture is in place, top each slice with fresh blueberries, spreading them evenly to distribute their sweet flavor throughout the dish.
- Place the baking sheet into the preheated oven, allowing the toast to bake for approximately 12 to 15 minutes. You’ll know it’s done when the custard has set, and the edges of the bread are turning golden brown. Keep an eye on it towards the end to ensure you achieve that perfect golden crisp.
- Once baking time is complete, remove the toast from the oven and allow it to cool slightly. If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar for an extra touch of sweetness and an aesthetically pleasing finish. Serve the Blueberry Custard Toast warm and enjoy the blend of textures and flavors!
Notes
Using day-old bread or slightly dried bread enhances texture and reduces sogginess during baking.
