Notes
You can make this over the STOVE -
The yogurt taste can be baked over the stove in a sauté pan with a lid. The flame must be kept low and the lid must fit the pan. The steam created will allow the custard to set and “bake” while the direct heat from the pan will toast the bread from the bottom. We cook it for 4 mins on the lowest heat with the lid and another 4-5 minutes without the lid on the lowest heat possible.
