Try the viral dessert toast for a perfect Valentine's Day breakfast

Instagram has been buzzing all week with the custard toast hashtag. The viral recipe lets you have dessert for breakfast and there’s nothing Instagram loves more than that. The best part is you can add almost anything as a topping, be it fresh berries, chocolate chips or even powdered sugar. Just make sure you get your hands on some good brioche!

 

Ingredients

2-3 slices of soft bread (depending on size and thickness)
1 egg
3 tablespoon Greek yogurt
2-3 teaspoon maple syrup or honey

For toppings

Handful fresh raspberries
10g Dark chocolate chips
Optional garnish with a drizzle of maple syrup

Method

In a small bowl, add the egg, yogurt and maple syrup. Whisk together to form a liquid custard.
Using your fingers or the back of a spoon or fork, press into the centre of the bread to indent and create a well without cutting through
Spoon in the custard mixture into the indented well and add your toppings on top.
Place on an oven tray with baking paper and bake for 8-12 minutes (depending on your oven strength)
The custard should be set and start to caramelise on the edges when ready. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup (optional).
