Ingredients
- Thick slices brioche or sturdy sourdough bread: 4 slices

- Shape the Bread:
- Place the bread slices on the prepared baking sheet. Using the back of a spoon, gently press down the center of each slice to create a shallow well, leaving a border around the edges.
- Fill with Custard:
- Spoon the coconut yogurt custard mixture evenly into the wells of each bread slice.
- Bake:
- Bake for 10–12 minutes, until the custard is just set and the bread edges are golden.
