Bread for French Toast

French toast comes out crispy on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside when it’s air fried.

We like to use thicker varieties of bread, like brioche if possible. If you use french bread, cut it yourself and let it dry slightly on the counter.

Bread that is too thin (like sandwich bread) can fall apart while bread that is too moist won’t soak up the custard mixture as well. While they’ll still work if it’s all you have on hand, a thicker slightly dried bread works best.

Milk/Egg Mixture

BATTER Basic French toast batter always starts with eggs and milk, which makes it creamy and super fluffy. Swap out the milk for dairy-free milk or even add a splash of Irish cream or coffee to the mixture.

FLAVORS & SPICES Cinnamon and vanilla are added for flavor! Try adding a little pumpkin pie spice or apple pie spice!

How to Make French Toast in the Air Fryer

You’re just 3 simple steps from breakfast!

1. Whisk the custard ingredients together.
2. Dip each side of bread in the batter & let soak for a few seconds on each side.
3. Place each piece in the preheated air fryer & bake until golden brown, flipping once.

Can You Make Ahead?

Notes

Air Fryers can vary. This recipe was tested in a 5.8QT Cosori. Be sure to check your french toast early so it doesn't overcook and dry out.

Bread Thickness Thicker bread may need a minute extra, thinner bread may need a little bit less time.

Feeding a Crowd? Do not overcrowd the air fryer. If serving a crowd, cook all of the french toast in batches. Once it's all cooked, place it all back into the air fryer and heat for 2 minutes.
