English Muffin Yogurt Toast

TRY THIS TOMATO & MUSHROOM VERSION

LOVE THIS WITH BERRIES & MINI CHOCOLATE CHIPS

If you've not seen or heard of the currently trending yogurt toast that's all over social media, let me enlighten you.  It's very simply toast, topped with an egg and yogurt mixture then baked.  The yogurt mixture comes out a lovely custard like texture and either pre or post baking you adorn it with your choice of toppings.


Most of the toppings I've seen are berries, which are great, but I had to go a different route and go savory.  I was won over and my handsome hubby Tim also proclaimed that of my sweet and savory versions, he dd prefer the savory as well.  


Both versions are great and what an ingenious idea for breakfast, but also for snacks or a light lunch.

LOVELY TOMATOES WITH SPICY FRESNO CHILI

To start with I had to change up the toast for English muffins.  The English muffins were far better than the toast version.  The billowy custard sinks into all those nooks and crannies and toasting the muffins first ensures they retain a nice crispness when doused and baked with the eggy yogurt concoction.

The savory version is topped with sliced baby portobello mushrooms, sweet grape tomatoes or  even sliced jalapeños for heat.  I dust it off with some chili flake or even a bit of tart sumac, which is right next to the salt and pepper in my world as we sprinkle it on eggs, salads or avocado on a daily basis.   Topping it off with chili garlic crisp oil is also a favorite way to finish this muffin.

LOVE THIS PINEAPPLE VERSION DUSTED WITH CINNAMON

The sweet version has a bit of honey and good vanilla lending a hand in the yogurt mixture while I do still stick with lovely berries and an adornment of mini chocolate chips on top just because.  Chocolate is never a bad idea.

You can see how the sky is the limit in creating your own versions of this fabulous TikTok famous toast.

Tag me on your toast creation and let me know what you've come up with.  Ham and asparagus yogurt toast anyone?  Now that sounds great.  That may be my next version.
