This Air Fryer French Toast recipe delivers a quick and delicious breakfast with perfectly golden, crispy edges and a tender center.

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.
