EVERY RECIPE DESERVES

A Little Love Letter

This is the kind of breakfast that makes mornings feel a little fancier than they actually are. Creamy vanilla yogurt, perfectly chilled, topped with fresh banana, kiwi, and passion fruit for that sweet-tart balance, plus a generous spoonful of homemade granola that’s golden, crunchy, and packed with chewy dried fruit. It’s fresh, naturally sweet, and can easily be prepped ahead, ideal for busy mornings or lazy Sundays.

This bowl is best served cold, straight from the fridge. For the perfect bite, get a little bit of everything on your spoon: creamy yogurt, juicy fruit, and crunchy granola. Want to level it up? Drizzle some almond butter on top or add a sprinkle of coconut flakes for an extra tropical twist. If you’re feeling fancy, serve it in a chilled bowl for that extra-refreshing vibe. Morning coffee on the side? Always a good idea.

The granola keeps for weeks in an airtight container, so make a big batch ahead of time. The yogurt and fruit are best assembled fresh, but you can pre-chop the fruit and store it in the fridge for a quick grab-and-go breakfast. Just add everything together when you’re ready to eat!

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.

Description

RECOMMENDED EQUIPMENT

  • large pan
  • shallow dish
  • small saucepan
  • small bowl
  • kitchen torch

Ingredients

Units Scale
PASSIONFRUIT GLAZE
  • 100 grams passionfruit purée
  • 100 grams white sugar
  • 25 grams water
FRENCH TOAST
  • 4 slices brioche bread
  • 75 grams cow milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • butter for frying
  • sugar for the crust
TOPPING
  • 3 tbsp yogurt
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 passionfruits

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with vanilla extract (or fresh vanilla) until smooth. Set aside.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Cut a fresh passion fruit in half and scoop the pulp over the toast for an extra burst of flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!

  • Author: Kimberly
  • Total Time: 1 hr + 50 min
  • Yield: 12

Description

Recommended Equipment

  • large bowl
  • spatula
  • plastic wrap
  • round cookie cutter
  • parchment paper
  • large pan

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 7 grams drive-active yeast
  • 25 grams white sugar
  • 200 milliliters full-fat cow milk
  • 100 milliliters water
  • 1 egg
  • 40 grams butter
  • 1.5 tsp salt
  • 550 grams bread flour (in Germany Type 550)
  • semolina

Instructions

  1. Stir together the yeast, warm milk, warm water, and sugar in a large bowl and let it sit for 10 minutes. The milk and water should be between 32°-36°C / 90°-97°F.
  2. Add the egg to the melted butter, mix well, and pour it into the bowl with the yeast mixture. Then add the flour and salt, and mix everything with a spatula until the dough is smooth and sticky. Keep kneading by hand until the dough no longer sticks to your fingers. This should take about 10 minutes. Put the dough back in the bowl and cover it with plastic wrap. Let it rest for about 45 minutes.
  3. Sprinkle some semolina on your work surface, place the dough on it, and flatten it to about 2-3 cm thick. Sprinkle a bit of semolina on top of the dough as well. Use a round cutter to cut out circles, place them on parchment paper, and cover them with a damp cloth to rest for 15 minutes.
  4. Heat a pan and once it’s warm (you should feel the heat when your hand is close to it), place the dough circles in the pan. Cook them on low heat for 5-7 minutes on each side until they are crispy and golden brown on the outside, and soft and fluffy on the inside. Keep the finished English muffins warm in a bread basket with a towel, and enjoy! 🙂
