Brioche is baked with coconut custard and crowned with mango, pineapple, kiwi, coconut, and lime zest for a creamy, crisp bite.
# What You'll Need:
→ For the Toast
01 - 4 thick slices brioche or sturdy sourdough bread
02 - 1 large egg
03 - 1/2 cup coconut yogurt (unsweetened or lightly sweetened)
04 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
05 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
06 - Pinch of sea salt
→ Toppings
07 - 1/2 mango, peeled and diced
08 - 1/2 cup fresh pineapple, diced
09 - 1 kiwi, peeled and sliced
10 - 2 tablespoons unsweetened shredded coconut
11 - Zest of 1 lime
12 - Extra honey or maple syrup, for drizzling (optional)
# Method:
01 - Preheat oven to 350°F (180°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together egg, coconut yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until thoroughly blended and creamy.
03 - Arrange bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon, gently press down the center of each slice to create a shallow well, preserving a border around the edges.
04 - Spoon equal amounts of custard mixture into the wells of each bread slice.
05 - Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until custard is just set and bread edges are golden brown.
06 - Remove baking sheet from oven and allow toast to cool slightly. Top each slice with diced mango, pineapple, sliced kiwi, lime zest, and a sprinkle of shredded coconut.
07 - If desired, drizzle toast with additional honey or maple syrup. Serve immediately while warm.
