What is custard toast?

Custard toast is a baked breakfast made by filling a slice of bread with a quick custard (typically egg and yogurt), then baking it until the center is creamy and the edges are crisp. This tropical custard toast version adds mango, pineapple, or kiwi for a fresh, fruity twist.

Is yogurt toast healthy?

Yes—especially when made with Greek yogurt. It’s packed with protein, calcium, and probiotics. Pair it with fresh fruit and whole grain bread for a well-balanced breakfast that’s much healthier than sugary pastries or boxed cereals.

What to eat custard with for breakfast?

Custard toast is satisfying on its own but pairs well with a fruit smoothie, boiled eggs, or a side of green veggie lemon orzo salad . You can also round it out with a spoonful of nut butter or a drizzle of tahini for more fat and protein.

Can you make custard with Greek yogurt and milk?

Absolutely. Greek yogurt alone makes a thick and creamy custard base, but adding a splash of milk can lighten the texture slightly. It’s a great option for those who want a custard that’s rich but not heavy—especially in warm-weather breakfasts like this one.
