I love how this is a sweet breakfast, whilst still being moderately healthy, still feels like youโre having dessert for breakfast and also this Chocolate Swirl Toast uses minimal ingredients.

This tiktok recipe Chocolate Custard Toast first went viral a while ago and I think that could be for a number of reasons. Firstly, combining egg, yogurt and maple syrup and then baking for 5 minutes = custard? I had no clue. Secondly, custard on toast? Sounds strange, but itโs so so good.
I think my addition of chocolate swirls adds a fun artsy element to it, where you can practice your decorating skills. A perfect brunch recipe or mid-week recipe as you can whip it up super quickly.

Thick white bread
Any thick bread would work here as you need to have enough depth to indent the bread slightly. I think wholemeal/sourdough might detract from the custard flavours, but you could definitely try that. For an extra sweet custard toast, you could use brioche.
Egg & Yogurt
The basis of the custard
Maple Syrup
Adds a rich sweetness. You can use honey here to make it more budget friendly, but I do love the unique flavour of maple syrup!
Milk Chocolate
Use your favourite chocolate here to melt and swirl into your custard toast. Feel free to use dark chocolate as also works well on this custard toast.
PREHEAT OVEN TO 180ยฐC
3. Then add the chocolate squares to a bowl. Rest the bowl in a metal sieve over the hot water, while the chocolate starts to melt (Image 3).
4. Leave the chocolate to melt (Image 4).
5. Now pour the custard mix onto the 3 slices of toast, until level with the crust and then swirl the melted chocolate over the custard by adding tiny drops and then dragging a thin object (I used a chopstick) through the drops to create a swirl (Image 5).
6. Pop in the oven for around 8 minutes, or until crispy and golden. Enjoy! (Image 6).

I would prepare and enjoy this when served immediately out of the oven.
I wouldnโt freeze this recipe, as I think the bread would lose itโs crispiness when reheating in the oven and the custard/chocolate would freeze weirdly. Luckily itโs so easy to make that youโll have no desire to batch make this recipe and freeze!
