Description

A quick and easy recipe for Air Fryer French Toast using thick slices of brioche bread soaked in a cinnamon-spiced egg mixture and air fried to golden perfection. This method delivers a crisp, tender French toast without the need for stovetop frying, perfect for a delicious breakfast or brunch.


Ingredients

Scale

French Toast Mixture

  • 6 thick slices brioche
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 3 tablespoons melted butter
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of salt

For Cooking

  • Oil spray (for air fryer basket)
  • Powdered sugar (for serving)
  • Maple syrup (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt until fully combined and smooth.
  2. Preheat Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spritz the basket of your air fryer with oil spray to prevent sticking.
  3. Dip Bread Slices: Quickly dip each slice of brioche into the egg mixture, ensuring it is well coated but not soggy.
  4. Arrange in Basket: Place the dipped slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, leaving some space between each piece. Cook in batches if necessary depending on your air fryer size.
  5. Cook: Set the air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and cook the French toast for 8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway if needed for even browning.
  6. Serve: Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately topped with powdered sugar and maple syrup.

Notes

  • Use thick slices of bread like brioche or challah for best results; thinner slices may become too crispy or overcooked.
  • Do not soak the bread slices for too long in the egg mixture to avoid sogginess.
  • If cooking in batches, keep cooked French toast warm in a low oven while finishing the rest.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly depending on the brand and model of your air fryer.
  • For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
