Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 slices of brioche about 1/2 inch (12 mm) in thickness
  • 1/4 cup 2 oz./60 g full-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp. vanilla bean paste or vanilla extract
  • 1 Tbs. maple syrup
  • 1 small handful of freeze-dried raspberries
  • 4 fresh raspberries optional
  • Powdered sugar for garnish optional

Equipment

  • 1 Mixing Bowl
  • 1 Whisk
  • 1 Baking Sheet
  • 1 Spatula For spreading custard
  • 1 Small Sieve (optional, for powdered sugar)

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, egg, vanilla bean paste (or extract), and maple syrup until smooth and well combined.
  3. Using the back of a spoon or your fingers, gently press down the center of each brioche slice to create a shallow well, forming a slight border around the edges.
  4. Carefully spoon the custard mixture into the wells of each brioche slice, distributing it evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the freeze-dried raspberries over the custard-filled brioche slices.
  6. Place the baking sheet with the toast in the preheated oven and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the custard is set and lightly golden, and the brioche edges are toasted.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly on the baking sheet.
  8. Garnish each toast with a fresh raspberry (if using) and a dusting of powdered sugar (if using) before serving.

Notes

Ensure your brioche slices are thick enough to create a substantial well for the custard without tearing. Full-fat Greek yogurt provides the best texture and richness for the custard; avoid low-fat versions. Whisk the custard ingredients thoroughly to ensure a smooth, lump-free mixture before spooning onto the toast. Do not overfill the brioche wells, as the custard will puff slightly during baking. For an extra touch, you can lightly brush the edges of the brioche with melted butter before baking to achieve a deeper golden crust. The freeze-dried raspberries add a pleasant tart crunch, while fresh raspberries offer a burst of juiciness and vibrant color. A light dusting of powdered sugar elevates the presentation.
