Air Fryer French Toast
Description
Air Fryer French Toast is prepared by dipping thick slices of brioche or a similar dense bread into a custard mixture made from eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and cinnamon. The bread is allowed to soak briefly so the custard permeates. Placing the soaked bread in a preheated air fryer basket cooks it evenly at 370°F, first on one side then flipped to brown the other. The air fryer delivers a crisp outer texture while keeping the interior soft and moist.
The timing varies depending on the bread’s thickness, and thinner or thicker slices may need a slight reduction or increase in cooking time. To avoid soggy results, the bread should not be overcrowded in the basket during cooking. The method allows batch cooking, so larger quantities can be prepared in cycles and reheated briefly in the air fryer.
This method reduces oil use compared to pan frying and simplifies cleanup without sacrificing the comforting texture and warmth of classic French toast. The cinnamon and vanilla provide subtle sweetness and flavor that complement the caramelized exterior. The recipe suits a breakfast or brunch and pairs well with syrup, fresh fruit, or powdered sugar.
Checking the toast early during cooking helps prevent drying out. Using brioche or dense sliced bread ensures structural integrity and an even soak in the custard mixture. About two-thirds of the egg mixture typically coats the given amount of bread slices.
Ingredients
- 8 lices brioche bread or other dense bread, thickly sliced
- 4 egg
- 1 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 370°F
- Whisk eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon in a shallow bowl or dish.
- Dip both sides of the bread into the egg mixture allowing a few seconds for the egg to soak into the bread.
- Place four slices of bread in the air fryer basket and cook for 4 minutes.
- After four minutes flip the bread and cook for an additional 4-6 minutes or until the bread is golden in color.
- Repeat with other slices of bread.
Notes
- Air fryer models vary; start checking French toast early to avoid overcooking and drying out.
- Adjust cooking time slightly based on bread thickness—thicker bread needs more time, thinner less.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary for even crisping.
- Reheat cooked slices for 2 minutes in the air fryer if preparing a larger quantity for serving.
- Use about two-thirds of the egg mixture for the eight slices mentioned.
