Air Fryer French Toast Sticks

Ingredients

• 8 slices brioche bread (or other soft bread)
• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup milk (any type)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Pinch salt
• cooking spray, powdered sugar, maple syrup (optional)

Steps

1. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (or run it empty for 5 minutes if no preheat setting).
2. Make custard: In a bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and salt.
3. Cut & dip: Slice bread into sticks. Dip each stick in the egg mixture, coating well but not oversoaking.
4. Air fry: Lightly spray the air fryer basket and/or use parchment paper. Arrange sticks in a single layer (avoid overlapping).
5. Cook for 5-6 minutes at 375°F, flipping halfway if desired, until golden and cooked through.
6. Serve immediately with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or fresh fruit.
