Thick bread slices soaked in creamy custard, baked till golden, topped with fresh berries and honey.
# What You'll Need:
→ Bread
01 - 2 thick slices brioche or challah bread (about 1 inch thick)
→ Custard
02 - 1 large egg
03 - 3 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
04 - 1½ tablespoons honey or maple syrup
05 - ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - Pinch of salt
→ Toppings (optional)
07 - ½ cup mixed fresh berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries)
08 - 1 tablespoon sliced almonds or pistachios
09 - 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
10 - Extra honey or maple syrup for drizzling
# Steps to Follow:
01 - Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, honey (or maple syrup), vanilla extract, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
03 - Place the bread slices on the baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon, gently press down in the center of each slice to form a shallow well, leaving a border around the edges intact.
04 - Spoon or pour the custard evenly into the wells formed in the bread slices.
05 - Top the custard-filled wells with mixed berries and nuts, if using.
06 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the custard is just set and the edges of the bread are golden and crisp.
07 - Allow the baked bread to cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar and drizzle with extra honey or maple syrup before serving warm.
