Prepare Oven:

Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Mix Custard:

In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg, coconut yogurt, honey or maple syrup, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and creamy.

Prepare 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.

Add 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.

Add Toppings:

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Top each toast with mango, pineapple, kiwi, and a sprinkle of shredded coconut and lime zest.

Drizzle and Serve:

Drizzle with extra honey or maple syrup if desired. Serve immediately.
