Ingredients
Scale
- 4 slices whole-grain or protein bread
- 2 large eggs (or ½ cup egg whites)
- ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk (or any milk of choice)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon instant coffee or espresso powder
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional)
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil or butter (for cooking)
- ½ cup Greek yogurt (plain or vanilla)
- 1 tablespoon mascarpone or light cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (for cream)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract (for cream)
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
- Dark chocolate shavings or berries (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Make the custard: In a shallow bowl, whisk eggs, milk, vanilla, coffee, and sweetener until smooth and combined.
- Soak the bread: Dip each slice of bread into the custard for 10–15 seconds per side until lightly soaked but not soggy.
- Cook the toast: Heat coconut oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook soaked slices for 2–3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
- Prepare the cream: Mix Greek yogurt, mascarpone, honey, and vanilla until creamy and smooth.
- Assemble: Spread the cream over each slice, layer them if desired, and dust generously with cocoa powder.
- Garnish and serve: Top with dark chocolate shavings or berries for extra flair. Serve warm or slightly chilled.
Notes
Use thick-cut bread for best results. For a dairy-free option, use coconut yogurt and vegan cream cheese. You can prepare the custard and cream ahead of time for a quick weekday breakfast.
