Ingredients
  

  • Bread: 6 slices of thick-cut bread (brioche, challah, or sturdy sourdough)
  • Eggs: 3 large eggs
  • Milk: 3/4 cup milk (dairy or unsweetened almond/oat milk)
  • Greek yogurt: 1 cup, plain or lightly sweetened
  • Berries: 2 cups mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
  • Vanilla extract: 1 teaspoon
  • Cinnamon: 1 teaspoon
  • Salt: Pinch
  • Sweetener (optional): 1–2 tablespoons maple syrup or honey for the custard
  • Butter or oil: For the pan (about 1–2 tablespoons)
  • Lemon zest (optional): 1/2 teaspoon for the yogurt
  • Maple syrup: For serving (optional)
  • Chopped nuts or seeds (optional): Almonds, pistachios, or chia seeds for crunch

Method
 

  1. Prep the berries: Rinse and pat dry. If using strawberries, hull and slice them. Set aside.
  2. Make the custard: In a shallow dish, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, salt, and optional sweetener until smooth.
  3. Heat the pan: Place a large nonstick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Add a small pat of butter or a drizzle of oil to coat the surface.
  4. Soak the bread: Dip each slice in the custard for 10–20 seconds per side. Let excess drip off. Thick, slightly stale bread works best because it holds its shape.
  5. Cook the toast: Lay soaked slices on the hot pan. Cook 2–3 minutes per side, until golden brown and set in the middle. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.
  6. Stir the yogurt: In a bowl, mix Greek yogurt with lemon zest if using. Taste and add a touch of honey or maple if you prefer it sweeter.
  7. Assemble: Plate the French toast. Spoon a generous dollop of yogurt over each slice and scatter berries on top.
  8. Finish: Drizzle with maple syrup if you like. Sprinkle with chopped nuts or seeds for texture. Serve warm.
