Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt
  • 4 slices bread
  • non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  • Add the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon and salt to a mixing bowl.
  • Whisk until combined.
  • Dip the slices of bread in the mixture, on both sides, dripping off any excess mixture.
  • Spray the air fryer basket with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the bread from sticking. Place the bread in the air fryer basket in a single layer. If need be, cook in two batches.
  • Air fry at 350°F/280°C for 6-8 minutes, flipping the bread halfway through. The bread should be golden and no wet mixture should remain.
  • Serve with fresh berries and maple syrup or your favorite toppings.

Notes

  • Choose the right bread. While you can technically make French toast out of any kind of bread, I think the best type is a heavy, dense loaf like Italian bread or a large French baguette sliced diagonally. Brioche and Challah also make delicious French toast.
  • Adjust as needed. Since all bread is different and all air fryers cook a little bit differently, you may find that you need more or less time to cook this recipe. Always keep an eye on your food as it cooks!
  • Feel free to use slightly old bread. While you don't want to use totally stale bread for French toast, this is a great way to revive bread that is just past its prime.
  • Dip quickly! Oversaturating the bread with the egg and milk mixture can cause it to turn mushy.
  • You may need to air fry french toast in batches so that you can cook each piece without overfilling the basket.
  • If you are cooking your French toast in batches do not dip the bread until it's ready to be cooked. It will get too soggy while you wait.
  • Also, if you are cooking in batches, you can reheat the first batch of French toast in the air fryer for 2 minutes so that everything is hot at the same time.
