Ingredients
- Thick slices brioche or sturdy sourdough bread: 4 slices
- Large egg: 1
- Coconut yogurt (unsweetened or lightly sweetened): 100 g (1/2 cup)
- Honey or maple syrup: 1 tbsp
- Vanilla extract: 1/2 tsp
- Sea salt: Pinch
- Mango (peeled and diced): 1/2
- Fresh pineapple (diced): 1/2 cup
- Kiwi (peeled and sliced): 1
- Unsweetened shredded coconut: 2 tbsp
- Zest of lime: 1
- Extra honey or maple syrup (for drizzling, optional): As needed
Instructions
- Prepare the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 180℃ (350℉). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Make custard filling:
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, coconut yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Shape the bread:
- Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon, gently press down the center of each slice to create a shallow well, leaving a border around the edges.
- Fill and bake:
- Spoon the coconut yogurt custard mixture evenly into the wells of each bread slice. Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the custard is just set and the bread edges are golden.
- Finish and serve:
- Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top each toast with mango, pineapple, kiwi, and a sprinkle of shredded coconut and lime zest. Drizzle with extra honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately.
