Ingredients

Main Ingredients

▢ 8 slices thick-cut brioche or Texas toast
▢ 4 large eggs
▢ 0.75 cup whole milk
▢ 1 tbsp granulated sugar
▢ 1 tsp vanilla extract
▢ 1 tsp ground cinnamon
▢ 0.25 tsp fine salt
▢ 2 tbsp unsalted butter melted, optional for brushing
▢ nonstick cooking spray for greasing the air fryer basket

Instructions

Preparation Steps

Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes. Lightly coat the basket with nonstick spray.
In a shallow dish, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt until smooth and well combined.
Dip each bread slice into the custard for 10 to 15 seconds per side, letting excess drip back into the dish.
Arrange slices in a single layer in the basket (do not crowd). Brush tops lightly with melted butter or mist with spray.
Air fry for 5 to 6 minutes, flip, then cook 3 to 4 minutes more until deep golden with crisp edges and a custardy center.
Repeat with remaining slices. Serve warm with maple syrup, fresh berries, and a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Notes

Day-old or slightly dried bread browns best. If your air fryer runs hot, cook at 360°F. For extra richness, swap half of the milk with half-and-half. Keep finished slices warm in a 200°F oven while cooking the rest.
