I love this recipe because it comes together with just a handful of everyday ingredients and takes less than ten minutes from start to finish.

2 to 3 slices soft bread
1 egg
3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
2 to 3 teaspoons maple syrup or honey
Fresh raspberries
10g dark chocolate chips

Directions
I preheat the air fryer or oven to 180°C (350°F).
I whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, and maple syrup or honey in a small bowl until smooth and creamy.
Then I press the center of each bread slice with a spoon to create a shallow well.
I spoon the custard mixture into the center of each slice.
I top the custard with fresh raspberries and dark chocolate chips.
Next I air fry for 4 to 5 minutes or bake for 8 to 12 minutes until the custard is set and lightly caramelized.
I drizzle with extra maple syrup before serving if I want additional sweetness.

Variations
I swap the raspberries for blueberries, strawberries, or blackberries for a different fruit flavor.
I use vanilla Greek yogurt for an extra layer of sweetness and flavor.
Also I add sliced bananas on top before baking for a naturally sweet twist.
I replace the dark chocolate chips with white chocolate or milk chocolate chips when I want a richer treat.
I sprinkle chopped nuts such as almonds or pecans over the custard for added crunch.
Storage/Reheating
I enjoy this toast best when it is freshly made, but I can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, I place the toast in an air fryer or oven at 180°C (350°F) for a few minutes until warmed through. I avoid microwaving whenever possible because it can soften the crispy edges.
