# How to Prepare:

02 - Arrange bread slices on the baking sheet and gently press the center of each slice to create a shallow well, leaving the edges intact.

04 - Divide the yogurt custard evenly and spoon it into the wells of each bread slice.
05 - Top each toast with sliced strawberries, blueberries, and banana or your preferred fruits.

07 - Allow to cool slightly, dust with powdered sugar, sprinkle with chopped nuts if desired, and serve warm.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It looks impressive enough to serve guests but takes just 25 minutes from start to table.
  • The custard bakes right into the bread, so you get creamy richness without extra dishes.
  • You can swap fruits based on what's ripe, so it never feels repetitive.
02 -
  • The custard continues cooking slightly after you pull it from the oven, so it's better to underbake by a minute than to end up with something solid and dry.
  • Room temperature ingredients whisk together more smoothly than cold ones, so pull everything out of the fridge a few minutes early.
03 -
  • For extra richness, use half Greek yogurt and half mascarpone or crème fraîche.
  • Brush the bread edges lightly with melted butter before baking to achieve deeper browning and better texture contrast.
