Time 20m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 slices slightly stale thick bread, such as Texas toast
parchment paper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
¼ cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 pinch ground nutmeg

Steps:

  • Cut each slice of bread into thirds to make sticks. Cut a piece of parchment paper to fit the bottom of the air fryer basket.
  • Preheat air fryer to 360 degrees F (180 degrees C).
  • Stir together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg in a bowl until well combined. Dip each piece of bread into egg mixture, making sure each piece is well submerged.

Tips:

  • Use stale bread: Stale bread makes the best French toast sticks because it absorbs the egg mixture more evenly and doesn't get soggy.
  • Cut the breadsticks evenly: This will help them cook evenly in the air fryer.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket: Leave some space between the breadsticks so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the breadsticks in batches: If you have a lot of breadsticks to cook, cook them in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
  • Serve the breadsticks immediately: French toast sticks are best served hot and fresh out of the air fryer.

Conclusion:

Air fryer French toast sticks are a quick and easy breakfast or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are made with just a few simple ingredients and can be cooked in just a few minutes. Serve them with your favorite syrup, butter, or fruit.
