Main Ingredients
- 4 slices white bread
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Butter or cooking spray for greasing
- Syrup, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the bread: Cut each slice of white bread into 3 equal sticks to form the French toast sticks.
- Make the egg mixture: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and sugar until fully combined.
- Dip the bread sticks: Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, allowing the bread to soak for a few seconds to absorb the flavors but not too long to become soggy.
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F and let it preheat for about 3-5 minutes.
- Air fry the sticks: Lightly grease the air fryer basket with butter or cooking spray. Arrange the coated bread sticks in a single layer without overcrowding, then air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
- Serve: Remove the French toast sticks from the air fryer and serve warm with syrup or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for better texture and less sogginess.
- You can substitute white bread with whole wheat or brioche for variation.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking.
- Adjust the cinnamon and sugar quantities to your taste preferences.
- Serve immediately for best crispiness; leftovers can be reheated in the air fryer.
