EVERY RECIPE DESERVES
A Little Love Letter
This is not your basic French toast. We’re talking crispy, caramelized edges, a creamy vanilla yogurt topping, and a tangy passionfruit glaze that adds just the right amount of freshness. It’s that perfect balance of buttery, crunchy, and melt-in-your-mouth softness that makes brunch feel extra. Whether you’re treating yourself on a slow Sunday morning or trying to impress someone with minimal effort, this dish is a guaranteed win. Think tropical, cozy, and just fancy enough to feel special without the hassle.
This one shines brightest when served fresh off the pan: crispy and golden. Drizzle that passionfruit glaze generously, dollop some vanilla yogurt on top, and let it all melt together in the best way.
French toast is best enjoyed fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day. Reheat in a pan to keep the crispiness. The yogurt and glaze should be stored separately and added just before serving.

Ingredients
Units
Scale
PASSIONFRUIT GLAZE
- 100 grams passionfruit purée
- 100 grams white sugar
- 25 grams water
- 4 slices brioche bread
- 75 grams cow milk
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- butter for frying
- sugar for the crust
- 3 tbsp yogurt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 passionfruits
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine the passion fruit purée, water, and sugar. Stir and bring to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Let it cook for 15–20 minutes until it thickens into a syrup-like consistency. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. It will thicken a bit more as it cools.
- In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with vanilla extract (or fresh vanilla) until smooth. Set aside.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla extract. Dip each slice of brioche into the egg mixture, making sure both sides are evenly coated. In a pan over medium heat, melt the butter and cook the brioche slices until golden brown and crispy on both sides. Remove from the pan.
- Sprinkle a thin layer of sugar over each slice of French toast. Using a kitchen torch, caramelize the sugar until it turns golden and crisp.
- Place two slices of caramelized French toast on a plate. Top with a generous dollop of vanilla yogurt and drizzle with the passion fruit glaze.
- Cut a fresh passion fruit in half and scoop the pulp over the toast for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
