French Toast, Berries & Whipped Yoghurt
Sometimes the best breakfasts are the simplest — and this French toast with whipped yoghurt and berries is proof. It’s indulgent yet refreshing, cosy yet light, and perfect for a lazy weekend morning. Made with buttery brioche, softly spiced with cinnamon, and topped with cool whipped yoghurt, it’s a dish that feels like a treat without being too heavy.
This recipe serves 2, but it’s easy to scale up if you’ve got more mouths to feed.

Ingredients (serves 2)
For the French toast
• 4 slices brioche
• 150ml double cream
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 2 tsp sugar
For the whipped yoghurt
• 250g Greek yoghurt
• 150ml double cream
Toppings
• Fresh fruit of choice (I went with blueberries, strawberries, banana)
• Drizzle of maple syrup
Method
1. Make the whipped yoghurt:
– In a bowl, combine the Greek yoghurt and double cream.
– Whisk until smooth, light, and slightly fluffy.
– Place in the fridge to chill while you make the French toast.
2. Prepare the French toast soak:
– In a shallow dish, whisk together the 150ml cream, cinnamon, and sugar until combined.
– Dip the brioche slices into the mixture, making sure each side is well-coated but not soggy.
3. Cook the French toast:
– Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add a little butter or oil.
– Fry the brioche slices for 2–3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp on the outside.
4. Assemble:
– Stack the warm French toast on plates.
– Top with fresh berries and banana slices.
– Add a generous dollop of whipped yoghurt.
Finish with a drizzle of maple syrup.
