Why This Recipe Works

Ingredients + Optional Substitutions
For this fabulous breakfast, here’s what you’ll need:
– 1 Egg: This is our primary binding agent and provides protein.
– 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt: Use full-fat if you like it creamy or low-fat for a lighter option. You can substitute plain yogurt, but the texture won’t be as rich.
– 2 slices French Brioche Bread: This type of bread is slightly sweet and soft, perfect for this recipe, but any thick cut bread will do, like sourdough or artisan.
– 1/2 cup Raspberries: Fresh or frozen, they bring a burst of tartness! Blueberries or strawberries can also work fine.
– 1/4 cup Pistachios: These nuts add a lovely crunch and flavor. Feel free to swap with almonds or skip entirely for a nut-free version.
– Ground Cardamom: A pinch is enough for a fragrant touch. If you don’t have it, cinnamon can be a good alternative.
Step-by-Step Recipe Instructions
Step 1:
First, we need to prepare our egg custard. Grab a medium bowl and crack your egg into it. Then, add the Greek yogurt and using a whisk or fork, blend them together until you have a creamy mixture. The goal here is to make sure the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Feeling the texture change as the yogurt mixes is so satisfying! Now, sprinkle in that aromatic ground cardamom and mix again until it’s fully incorporated.
Step 2:
Now it’s time to focus on our bread. Take a slice of the French brioche and gently press down in the center with a fork or the back of a spoon to form an indent. Be gentle—this will hold the custard beautifully without breaking the bread. It’s like crafting a tiny bowl for our filling!
Step 3:
Pour about one-third of your egg custard mixture right into the center of that indented slice of bread. Ensure it fills well without spilling over the edges. Then, take a handful of raspberries and sprinkle them on top, followed by a few crushed pistachios for that added crunch and flavor explosion!
Step 4:
Carefully place your prepared bread slice into the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F for 5 to 6 minutes. Keep an eye on it! You want those edges to be crispy and golden brown without burning. Every air fryer may vary, so don’t be afraid to check it around the 4-minute mark.
Step 5:
Once the toast is done, gently remove it from the air fryer—it’ll be hot, so use tongs or a spatula! If you’d like, this is the perfect time to sprinkle a little powdered sugar over the top or drizzle some honey for extra sweetness. Then cut it in half, and voila! You’re ready to dig in!

Storage and Reheating Tips
If by chance you have any leftovers (though it’s hard to imagine with this tasty treat!), simply refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to 2 days. When you’re ready to enjoy them again, pop them back into the air fryer or your oven at 350°F for about 2 minutes to reheat. The crispiness will return, and it will taste just as delightful as the first time!
Serving Suggestions
This yogurt custard toast is delicious on its own, but you can really elevate it! Serve it alongside a refreshing smoothie or a cup of your favorite coffee for that perfect breakfast experience. You could also add a dollop of whipped cream or an extra drizzle of honey or syrup if you’re feeling extra indulgent!

Recipe FAQs
Can I use other types of bread?
Absolutely! Any thick slice of bread works—sourdough, whole grain, or even gluten-free bread will be fantastic!
Can I make this ahead of time?
While the custard can be prepared ahead and stored in the fridge, I recommend assembling and cooking it fresh for the best texture and flavor.
Is it necessary to use an air fryer?
Not at all! You can bake this in a preheated oven at 400°F for about 8 to 10 minutes. Just keep an eye on it to prevent burning!
Can I add more sweetness to the custard?
Certainly! If you prefer a sweeter custard, add a teaspoon of honey or maple syrup to the mixture before cooking.
What other toppings do you recommend?
The sky’s the limit! Nuts, seeds, other fruits, or even a spread of nut butter would all complement it beautifully.
