What Do You Need To Make Keto Air Fryer Custard Toast?
In order to create this delicious keto air fryer custard toast, you will need the following items:
- Ingredients (listed in recipe below)
- Air Fryer
- Medium Size Mixing Bowl
- Whisk
- Baking Dish
How to Make Keto Custard Toast in the Air Fryer
Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees and grease a baking dish well.
In a medium bowl, combine the yogurt, honey, vanilla, and egg yolk until smooth.
Place the bread slices into the greased baking dish.
Press down in the center of each piece of bread to form a slight indentation.
In the indentation of each piece of bread, pour the yogurt mixture.
Add strawberries to the top of each slice of bread.
Place the prepared bread slices in the air fryer for 10 minutes (or until the custard is cooked thoroughly), and the bread is toasted to the desired doneness.
What is the Best Bread to Use for this Air Fryer Custard Toast?
The great thing about this custard toast air fryer recipe is that you can use any (keto-friendly) bread that you want. Find your favorite keto bread at the grocery store, or you can make your own (I highly recommend this keto bread recipe).
If you haven’t yet made your own bread at home, you might be surprised by how simple it is.
Can Any Air Fryer Be Used for this Air Fryer Custard Toast?
There have been some questions out there wondering if any air fryer can be used to make this recipe and the answer is, yes. You can use any air fryer that you have for this recipe.
Are you new to using air fryers? Did you know that cooking with an air fryer is approximately 70% healthier than deep frying? Air frying reduces the amount of unhealthy fats in your diet that typically come with frying. Air frying does still leave your food with a nice fried-like crunch though!
There is some concern out there though about the plastic that you’ll typically find on air fryers. While almost every air fryer on the market is BPA free, there is a concern that the chemicals in the plastic being heated up can cause a threat to your health.
While it is pretty much impossible to find an air fryer without some kind of plastic, you might feel better finding an air fryer that uses an all metal cooking basket. This may be something to keep in mind if you are shopping for a new air fryer sometime in the near future.
Do You Make This Keto Air Fryer Toast for Breakfast or Dessert?
While this custard toast air fryer recipe is billed as a breakfast recipe, I definitely think that it can be enjoyed as both breakfast and dessert. It’s filling enough to start your day with, but it is also sweet enough to enjoy as dessert.
I love a versatile recipe! Another one that fits this category of breakfast or dessert is this delicious air fryer pineapple! I love these kinds of sweet treats that are also nutritious!
What Other Toppings Can You Use on This Keto Air Fryer Custard Toast?
While this particular custard toast recipe calls for strawberries for toppings, you can actually use any fruit you would like. To keep your carb count low, choose a keto friendly berry such as blackberries, strawberries, blueberries or raspberries.
They all work great for topping this toast.
Are There Any Other Changes I Can Make to this Air Fryer Custard Toast Recipe?
Another variation on this recipe that you may like is to make it with fresh fruit. How? Well, the recipe calls for the fruit to be cooked on the toast in the air fryer, however, if you wish to have a more fresh taste to yours, feel free to cook the toast and add the berries later.
