Equipment

air fryer
mixing bowl
whisk
tongs or spatula
measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients

8 slices thick brioche or challah bread
3 large eggs
3/4 cup milk
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp melted butter
1 spray cooking oil spray
maple syrup for serving
powdered sugar and berries for topping

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 370°F for 2 to 3 minutes.
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sugar, and melted butter until smooth.
Dip each bread slice briefly into the custard mixture on both sides, allowing excess liquid to drip off.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil and arrange the bread slices in a single layer without overlapping.
Cook the french toast at 370°F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking for even browning.
Remove the french toast from the air fryer and let it rest for 1 minute before serving.
Serve warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, fresh berries, or your favorite toppings.

Notes

Use thick bread like brioche or challah for the best texture. Avoid soaking the bread too long to prevent sogginess. Preheating the air fryer helps create crispier edges. Flip halfway through cooking for even browning.
