Introduction
Air fryers have become increasingly popular in recent years, offering a healthier and faster alternative to traditional frying. One of the many dishes that can be easily prepared in an air fryer is French toast. This classic breakfast treat is made by dipping bread in a mixture of eggs and milk, then cooking it until golden brown.
Ingredients
- 4 slices of bread (thick-cut or French bread work well)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- Butter, for greasing the air fryer basket
Instructions
Prepare the egg mixture
In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Dip the bread
Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, making sure it’s fully coated.
Grease the air fryer basket
Lightly grease the air fryer basket with butter.
Cook the French toast
Place the dipped bread slices in the air fryer basket. Cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through.
Serve
Serve the French toast hot with your favorite toppings, such as syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
Tips
Use thick-cut bread
Thicker bread will hold up better in the air fryer and won’t become soggy.
Don’t overcrowd the basket
Make sure there’s space between the French toast slices so they cook evenly.
Check on the French toast frequently
The cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the bread and the settings of your air fryer.
Experiment with toppings
Get creative with your toppings to customize your French toast.
