French Toast Ingredients
- 6 slices Texas toast
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 3 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Slice the Bread: Slice each piece of Texas toast into three strips to create smaller, more manageable pieces for air frying.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until well combined, creating a flavorful soaking mixture.
- Prep the Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the basket of your air fryer with cooking oil spray to prevent sticking and ensure even browning.
- Dip the Bread: Quickly dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, ensuring it is coated well but not oversaturated, then place each slice in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces for air circulation. Work in batches if necessary.
- Air Fry the French Toast: Set the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and cook the bread slices for 7 minutes or until they turn golden brown and are cooked through, flipping halfway if your air fryer requires it for even cooking.
- Serve: Remove the French toast from the air fryer and serve immediately with a dusting of powdered sugar and a drizzle of maple syrup for a classic finish.
Notes
- Use Texas toast for thick, sturdy slices that hold up well during dipping and air frying.
- For extra flavor, add a splash of vanilla extract to the egg mixture.
- If your air fryer basket tends to stick, consider lining it with parchment paper designed for air fryers.
- Adjust cooking time slightly depending on the thickness of your bread and your specific air fryer model.
- Serve immediately for the best texture, as air-fried French toast is crispiest fresh out of the air fryer.
