1 large egg
3 tbsp Greek yoghurt, plain
2 tsp, plus extra to finish honey, or maple syrup

Preheat the air fryer to 175°C and lightly butter a small piece of baking parchment or the crisper tray.
Press the centre of each brioche slice down with the back of a spoon, leaving a raised border so the custard has somewhere to sit.
Whisk the egg, yoghurt, honey and vanilla in a small bowl until smooth and pourable.
Spoon the custard into the hollowed brioche centres, then scatter the raspberries over the top.
Air-fry for 7–9 minutes, until the brioche edges are golden and the custard is just set in the middle.
Finish with a little extra honey and a dusting of icing sugar if liked, then eat while the brioche is still warm and crisp.

Notes

Use slightly stale brioche if you have it; it holds the custard neatly without collapsing.

Frozen raspberries can go on from frozen, but add an extra minute if the custard needs it.

About this recipe

This air-fried brioche is a fast café-style breakfast or pudding for two: buttery bread, a light egg and yoghurt custard, and sharp raspberries to cut through the sweetness.

The air fryer gives the brioche crisp edges while the middle stays spoon-soft, so it feels special without needing a full oven or a long bake.
