Air Fryer French Toast Recipe
Equipment
- Whisk
- Shallow dish
- Fork
- Tongs
Ingredients
- 4 Brioche or soft white bread, thick slices
- 2 large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 tablespoon Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- Pinch Salt
- Butter or non-stick cooking spray for greasing

Method
- Preheat your Air Fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
- Pour the mixture into a shallow dish.
- Grease the air fryer basket with butter or non-stick spray.
- Dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak for a few seconds on each side.
- Place the soaked bread in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 6 minutes, then flip the bread slices carefully with tongs and cook for another 3-4 minutes, until golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Serve hot with a dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup.
- For an extra indulgent twist, add a dollop of cream cheese or a sprinkle of chocolate chips between two slices of the soaked bread before cooking.
- Don’t skip preheating the air fryer; it ensures an even cook and the perfect golden crust.
- Avoid overcrowding the basket. Cook in batches if necessary to keep that irresistible crunch.
