Ingredients
Toast
- 2 slices whole grain bread
Yogurt Topping
- 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
- Pinch of salt
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest (optional)
Fruit and Nuts
- 1/2 cup fresh raspberries, lightly crushed
- 2 tablespoons shelled pistachios, chopped
Instructions
- Toast the bread: Toast the slices of whole grain bread until they are golden brown and crisp to provide a sturdy and flavorful base for the toppings.
- Prepare the yogurt mixture: In a small bowl, combine the plain Greek yogurt with honey or maple syrup and a pinch of salt. Stir well until the mixture is smooth and evenly sweetened.
- Spread the yogurt: Evenly spread the sweetened yogurt mixture over each slice of toasted bread to create a creamy layer that complements the other ingredients.
- Add the raspberries: Spoon the lightly crushed fresh raspberries evenly over the yogurt, gently pressing them in to meld the flavors and prevent them from falling off.
- Top with pistachios and lemon zest: Sprinkle the chopped pistachios over the raspberries for added crunch and flavor, then finish by grating lemon zest on top if using. Serve immediately to enjoy the toast at its freshest.
Notes
- Use vanilla yogurt instead of plain for a flavor twist and to save time.
- For a plant-based option, substitute dairy-free yogurt.
- If pistachios are unavailable, almonds or walnuts make excellent alternatives.
