Description

This Air Fryer French Toast recipe delivers a quick and delicious breakfast with perfectly golden, crispy edges and a tender center. Made with Texas toast slices dipped in a cinnamon-spiced egg mixture and cooked in an air fryer, it’s a healthier, less greasy alternative to traditional pan-fried French toast. Serve it warm with powdered sugar and maple syrup for a delightful start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale

Bread

6 slices Texas toast

Egg Mixture

4 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons melted butter
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Slice the Bread: Cut each slice of Texas toast into three smaller pieces to create manageable portions 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 fully combined and smooth.
Prep the Air Fryer Basket: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with oil to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
Dip the Bread: Quickly dip each bread slice into the egg mixture, allowing it to soak briefly but not become soggy, then arrange the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket, leaving space between pieces. Work in batches if necessary based on your air fryer’s capacity.
Cook: Air fry at 380°F (193°C) for 7 minutes, or until the French toast is golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway if your air fryer model requires it for even cooking.
Serve: Remove the French toast from the air fryer and serve immediately, topped with powdered sugar and maple syrup for a sweet and satisfying breakfast treat.

Notes

Using Texas toast gives a thick and sturdy texture perfect for dipping and air frying.
Work quickly when dipping the bread to prevent it from becoming overly saturated and falling apart.
You can adjust the cinnamon and sugar to your preference for added spice or sweetness.
If you have a smaller air fryer, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and butter with plant-based alternatives.
