French Toast Air Fryer
Introduction
French Toast Air Fryer is about to become your new breakfast hero: it’s irresistibly crisp on the outside, plush and custardy inside, and ready in half the time of traditional stovetop versions. With air frying, you get a deliciously golden result without standing over a hot skillet or soaking your toast in oil – making it perfect for busy mornings, brunch gatherings, or whenever you crave an indulgent start to the day.
Why You’ll Love French Toast Made in the Air Fryer
This method delivers everything you want from classic French toast, but with easy, hands-off cooking. The hot circulating air crisps the exterior while locking in rich custard flavor within. Plus, there’s less mess and minimal cleanup. Each slice comes out perfectly cooked every time, making this recipe a go-to for effortless, crowd-pleasing breakfasts.
How to Achieve the Perfect French Toast Custard
The secret to swoon-worthy French toast is in the custard soak. Always use thick, slightly stale bread for maximum absorption. Whisk together eggs, milk, a touch of vanilla, and cinnamon until fully blended. For extra smooth, lump-free custard, quickly blitz the mixture in the Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black. This also helps infuse the egg mixture with those lovely flavorings.
Tips for Air Fryer French Toast Success
Preheat your air fryer for best results. To prevent sticking and achieve that signature golden crust, line your basket with Reynolds Kitchens Brown Parchment Paper Roll, 45 Square Feet or opt for Air Fryer Paper Liners, 125Pcs Parchment Paper, 8IN Square. Once your bread slices are soaked but not soggy, lay them in a single layer, leaving room for air circulation. Flip once during cooking to guarantee both sides get crisp.
Serving Up French Toast Air Fryer Style
Top your air-fried French toast with a dusting of powdered sugar, a drizzle of real maple syrup, or a mound of fresh fruit. For brunches, keep batches warm in a low oven until serving. Send leftovers to work or school tucked safely in a Bentgo Salad Container – 54 oz Bowl for a portable treat. French toast is also fantastic with whipped cream or a spoonful of Greek yogurt.
