# What You'll Need:

→ Bread

01 - 4 slices thick-cut brioche or challah bread

02 - 2/3 cup plain or vanilla Greek yogurt
03 - 1 large egg

10 - 2 teaspoons chopped pistachios or almonds

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Set oven temperature to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - Place the bread slices evenly on the prepared baking sheet.
03 - Press down the center of each bread slice with the back of a spoon to form a shallow well, keeping edges intact.
04 - Whisk Greek yogurt, egg, honey or maple syrup, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy.
05 - Divide and spoon the yogurt custard evenly into the wells of each bread slice.
06 - Top each filled bread slice with sliced strawberries, blueberries, and banana or preferred fruit.
07 - Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the custard is just set and bread edges are golden brown.
08 - Allow to cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar, and sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired. Serve warm.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • The custard turns into something like a cheesecake filling but without all the work
  • You can use whatever fruit is sitting in your fridge even slightly soft berries work beautifully
02 -
  • Press the centers down firmly or the custard will spill over during baking and you will lose that nice well effect
  • Room temperature yogurt blends smoother so if you forget to set it out microwave it for ten seconds first
03 -
  • Use the widest bread slices you can find standard sandwich bread is too narrow to hold enough custard and fruit
  • Chill your mixing bowl for ten minutes before making the custard if your kitchen is warm this helps everything stay cold and blends better
