Why These Flavors Work So Well Together
This custard toast isn’t just pretty—it’s a perfect balance of flavors and textures that make every bite irresistible! 🍊✨
Sumo Citrus: Naturally sweet and ultra-juicy, Sumo Citrus adds a bright, zesty contrast to the rich custard, cutting through the creaminess with a pop of freshness.
Greek Yogurt Custard: The creamy, slightly tangy custard creates a luscious base that soaks into the toast while baking, making it golden on the outside and soft in the center.
Honey & Maple Syrup: A drizzle of honey or maple syrup enhances the natural sweetness of the citrus without overpowering it, giving just the right touch of warmth.
Pistachios: The final flourish! Crunchy, nutty pistachios add a depth of flavor and texture that pairs beautifully with the citrus and creamy custard.
The result? A perfect harmony of sweet, tangy, creamy, and crunchy—all in one bite. It's the kind of breakfast that feels indulgent but is actually packed with protein, fiber, and healthy fats. Total win-win! 🙌
Easy Ingredient Swaps & Substitutions
Want to customize this Citrus Honey + Pistachio Custard Toast to fit your preferences? Here are some simple swaps to make it your own:
Bread: No sourdough, brioche, or challah? Try whole-grain, gluten-free, or even a thick-cut slice of your favorite sandwich bread. Just make sure it’s sturdy enough to hold the custard.
Greek Yogurt: Swap for coconut yogurt (for a dairy-free option), skyr, or even mascarpone for an extra rich and creamy texture.
Sumo Citrus: Any sweet, juicy citrus works! Try mandarins, cara cara oranges, blood oranges, or even grapefruit for a slightly tangy twist.
Honey or Maple Syrup: Agave syrup, date syrup, or even a sugar-free alternative can work if you’re looking for a lower-sugar option.
Pistachios: Almonds, pecans, or even toasted coconut flakes can add a delicious crunch if you don’t have pistachios on hand.
No matter how you make it, this custard toast is guaranteed to be a breakfast (or snack!) favorite! 🍊✨
