How to Make French Toast in Air Fryer

Say goodbye to soggy - or overcooked - French toast on the stove. This air fryer French toast comes out golden and crispy on the outside and tender on the inside! Gah, it's good.

By the way, if you have kids, call them to the kitchen so they can help you prepare the slices of bread. It makes for a fun family activity and bonding time! 

Now, gather the ingredients, and let's start the day off with this easy French toast recipe!

Step 1: Preparing Bread Slices

First, prepare the batter to coat the bread.

Put the milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and eggs in a medium-sized bowl and whisk them with a fork until well combined.

Next, soak each slice of bread in the mixture until each side is coated well. And make sure every inch is dredged in the mixture, but don't leave the bread sitting in it. 

Step 2: Cooking The French Toast

So, now that the slices of bread are ready to go let's cook this French toast in the air fryer.

First, grease the air fryer basket with a little cooking spray. Then place as many slices of bread in it that you can without them touching each other.

Depending on the size of your air fryer basket, you may have to cook the French toast in two batches.

Next, cook the bread at 350°F (175°C) for about 7 minutes, flipping the pieces of bread halfway through cooking. 

While the French toast is cooking, mix the cinnamon and sugar in a small bowl.

Step 3: Serving

When each slice is done, take it out of the air fryer and immediately sprinkle the cinnamon sugar on top of the warm piece of French toast.

And it is important to do this while they're still hot so the cinnamon sugar can melt into the bread for the best flavor.

Then, top off each slice with a slab of butter and some maple syrup, and dig in!

HOW TO STORE FRENCH TOAST

So, this recipe will make 4 slices of French toast, but if you want more for a big family breakfast, just double, triple, or quadruple the recipe!

Then if you have any leftovers, you can store them for breakfast throughout the week. Refrigerated or frozen, they make a great quick breakfast for busy mornings!

To refrigerate, put the cooled slices in an airtight container or sealed plastic bag, and they'll last for up to 5 days.

If you want to freeze them, put the slices on a baking sheet and flash freeze for about an hour. Then transfer to a freezer-safe bag, and they'll last for up to 2 months!

FAQS ABOUT THIS AIR FRYER FRENCH TOAST RECIPE

Can you reheat French toast in air fryer?

Yes, you can, and I prefer this method. It crisps the slices right back up, and they are super quick to reheat.

All you have to do is preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and cook for about 2-3 minutes or until warm. 

What Bread Is Best for French Toast? 

You can really use any type of bread you want to make this recipe! My favorites are white bread and cinnamon swirl bread, but you can also use brioche, sourdough, wheat, and even French bread to make French toast with.

Why Use Stale Bread for French Toast?

While you can make French toast with fresh bread, there is a reason why stale bread makes a better choice. 

Stale bread absorbs more of the egg and milk mixture, which results in toasts with a more delicate texture. But if you only have fresh bread, it will still turn out delicious!

Wrapping It All Up

This French toast is such an easy air fryer breakfast, and now you know how to make it in about 20 minutes! 

And you never have to worry about under or overcooking French toast again! The air fryer cooks the bread to golden perfection while keeping the inside soft and tender.
