Blackberry Pistachio Custard Toast (High-Protein Toast)
arm, custardy toast topped with juicy blackberries and crunchy pistachios — a fancy-feeling, high-protein breakfast that comes together in minutes.
Ingredients
- 2 slices whole-grain bread
- 1 large egg
- ⅓ cup plain low-fat or nonfat Greek yogurt*
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup, or honey
- Pinch cinnamon
- Pinch salt
- ½ to ¾ cup fresh or frozen blackberries, no need to thaw if frozen
- 1 to 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios
Optional toppings:
- Fresh lemon zest
- Light drizzle of maple syrup
- Tiny pinch flaky salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup (optional).
- Create the “well”: Place the bread slices on the baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon or your fingers, gently press down the center of each slice to create a shallow well—leave the crust slightly raised to hold the filling.
- Make the custard: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, Greek yogurt, maple syrup, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and creamy.
- Fill the toast and add toppings: Slowly spoon the custard mixture into the wells of each slice. Go gradually so it doesn’t spill over the edges—you may have a little leftover. Scatter the blackberries over the custard and sprinkle with pistachios.
- Bake, cool and enjoy: Bake for 11 to 15 minutes, until the custard is set (it shouldn’t jiggle much) and the edges of the toast are lightly crisp. Let cool for a few minutes. Top with optional lemon zest, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a tiny pinch of salt if you’d like.
