The image shows two small square pastries on a white plate, each with a golden brown crust edged in powdered sugar. The pastries have a creamy yellow filling topped with bright red sliced strawberries and dark blue blueberries, with some powdered sugar dusted on top. A piece is cut from one pastry, with a golden fork lifting a bite-sized portion showing soft, creamy inside and fruit. A whole fresh strawberry lies next to the pastries on the plate. Beside the plate, there is a gold knife and a small metal sieve filled with powdered sugar. The background is a white marbled texture with a glass of orange juice partly visible.

Tips & Variations

  • Use any fresh or frozen berries you prefer to customize the flavor.
  • Swap brioche for challah or thick-cut white bread for a different texture.
  • For a dairy-free option, try using coconut yogurt and a flax egg in place of the regular yogurt and egg.
  • Adding a pinch of cinnamon or vanilla extract to the custard mixture enhances the flavor.

Storage

Store leftover custard toasts in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a toaster oven or air fryer at a low temperature to maintain crispness. Avoid microwaving to prevent sogginess.

How to Serve

Two square-shaped pastries sit on a white plate with a smooth finish, each topped with a glossy yellow custard layer. The custard is embedded with round blueberries and thin, crescent-shaped slices of red strawberries, all dusted lightly with white powdered sugar. The pastry edges are golden brown and slightly puffed, holding the creamy filling inside. Above the plate, on the white marbled surface, there are two strawberry halves with green leaves visible, and to the side, a glass of bright orange juice. A small white dish with powdered sugar and a gold fork resting on a white napkin complete the scene. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

FAQs

Can I use regular yogurt instead of Greek yogurt?

Yes, but Greek yogurt is thicker and helps the custard set better. If using regular yogurt, consider straining it to remove excess liquid for best results.

Can I prepare the custard toast ahead of time?

You can assemble the toasts up to a few hours in advance and keep them refrigerated. Bake just before serving to preserve freshness and texture.
