This Greek Yogurt French Toast is everything I want in a cozy breakfast – soft, rich, and custardy, kind of like a warm bread pudding. I use thick slices of challah rolls that soak up all that creamy egg mixture, so you get those crispy edges with a melt-in-your-mouth center. The Greek yogurt gives it a little tang and that dreamy custard texture, no heavy cream needed. It also adds some protein and gut-friendly probiotics, which is always a win. Lightly sweetened with coconut sugar and a splash of vanilla, each bite is golden on the outside and perfectly soft inside. It feels like an indulgent weekend treat—but with a wholesome twist that actually leaves you feeling good.
I used the Eat Royo Low Carb Challah Rolls, which are not only the perfect texture for this recipe, but also a great macro-friendly option. Each roll is only 90 calories and low in carbs, making them ideal if you’re watching your macros or want a lighter version of your favorite brunch classic.

A Note on the Bread
Use thick, sturdy bread! This is what gives your French toast that dreamy bread pudding texture. The Eat Royo challah rolls are a perfect fit — soft, fluffy, and thick enough to soak up the batter without falling apart. Letting the bread sit in the batter for at least a minute makes a huge difference in the final result.
Ingredients
French Toast Batter:
- 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 large organic eggs
- 2 tbsp organic coconut sugar
- 1 tsp organic vanilla extract
- 4 slices thick bread (I use the low carb Eat Royo Challah Rolls. They are only 90 calories each with 8 grams of protein and 4 grams of net carbs! Use the code COOKINGKATIELADY at checkout to get 10% off your order!)
- Optional: sprinkle of cinnamon
Greek Yogurt Custard Topping:
- 2/3 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt
- 2 tbsp organic coconut sugar
- 1 tsp organic vanilla extract
How To Make It
- Make the Custard Topping: In a small bowl, whisk together the yogurt, coconut sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Set aside in the fridge while you prep the French toast.
- Prepare the Batter: In a shallow bowl or dish, whisk the Greek yogurt, eggs, coconut sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon (optional).
- Soak the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the mixture, allowing each piece to sit for at least 30–60 seconds per side. You want it to absorb the batter thoroughly for that bread pudding texture.
- Cook the French Toast: Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and add a little butter or oil. Place each roll on the skillet and cook for about 1–2 minutes per side, including the edges of the rolls.
- Assemble and Serve: Serve warm with a generous spoonful of the Greek yogurt custard topping, a drizzle of maple syrup, and any other toppings you love — berries, nut butter, or chopped nuts are all great options:)
FAQ’s
- Can I use another type of bread? Yes, but be sure to use a thick-cut bread like brioche, sourdough, or challah for best results. Thin sandwich bread will get too soggy.
- Can I meal prep this? Yes! Cook the French toast ahead and store in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in a toaster oven or skillet. The yogurt topping can be stored separately and added fresh.
- Can I Make This Dairy Free? You can substitute the Greek yogurt for your favorite dairy free yogurt, such as coconut.
