Air fryer French toast delivers a crispy exterior and a soft, custardy interior. Thick-cut bread is essential for best results. Find ingredient amounts, step-by-step instructions, and air frying times on this page.
Ingredients
- 4 slices thick-cut bread (Texas toast, brioche, or challah, about 3/4 inch thick)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- pinch salt
Steps
- 01Whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, sugar, and salt in a shallow dish wide enough to fit a slice of bread.
- 02Dip each bread slice into the custard. Let it soak for about 10 seconds per side. You want it saturated but not falling apart.
- 03Let excess drip off for a moment before placing in the air fryer.
- 04Ready for the air fryer.
- 05Serve with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh berries.
Thick bread is non-negotiable. Regular sliced sandwich bread disintegrates in the custard. If all you have is thin bread, freeze the slices for 10 minutes first. Frozen bread absorbs the custard more slowly and holds its shape.
