# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It hits that perfect sweet spot between indulgent and wholesome
  • The custard transforms simple yogurt into something velvety and luxurious
  • You can prep everything in under ten minutes with basic pantry ingredients
02 -
  • Press the bread wells gently but firmly—if you make them too shallow, the custard will overflow
  • Room temperature yogurt incorporates more easily than cold straight from the fridge
  • The custard continues setting slightly as it cools, so dont worry if it looks a little jiggly right out of the oven
03 -
  • For extra protein, add a spoonful of cottage cheese to the yogurt mixture before blending
  • A sprinkle of sea salt over the fruit before baking enhances all the flavors surprisingly well
  • Brush the bread edges with melted butter before baking for even more golden color and richness
