Lemon-Blueberry Yogurt Toast

(4)

Here's the latest and greatest addition to your morning breakfast ritual. (Thank you, TikTok!) The yogurt mixed with the egg becomes custard-y—almost like a cheese Danish—when baked, and the protein from both will give you an energy boost to tackle your day.

Ingredients

  • 1 large egg

  • 3 tablespoons plain whole-milk strained yogurt (such as Greek-style)

  • 1 tablespoon pure maple syrup

  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest

  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice

  • Pinch of salt

  • 2 slices whole-wheat bread, 1/2 inch thick

  • ¼ cup fresh blueberries

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Whisk together egg, yogurt, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt in a small bowl.

  2. Place bread on the prepared baking sheet. Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, press down on the center of each slice, making a large indentation and leaving a 1/2-inch border between the indentation and the crust. Spoon the yogurt mixture into the indentation and spread evenly. Top with blueberries.Bake until the yogurt mixture is set and the blueberries have started to burst, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Air-Fryer Instructions:

Step 1: Place a piece of foil on the bottom and 2 inches up both sides of the air-fryer basket (the sides will act as handles when removing toast). Preheat the air fryer to 360°F for 5 minutes.

Step 2: While the air fryer preheats, whisk together egg, yogurt, maple syrup, lemon zest, lemon juice and salt in a small bowl. Using your fingers or the back of a spoon, press down on the centers of each bread slice, making a large indentation and leaving a 1/2-inch border between the indentation and the crust. Spoon the yogurt mixture into the indentation and spread evenly. Top with blueberries.

Step 3: Remove the basket from the air fryer and carefully place the bread on top of the foil. Place the basket back in the air fryer and cook until the yogurt mixture is set and the blueberries have started to burst, 6 to 8 minutes. Remove the basket and use the foil sides to carefully lift the toasts out. Let cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
