    How to make Air fryer French toast.

    Making French toast in the air fryer is easier than you think. Let’s get started by gathering the ingredients.

    Next mix all ingredients except the bread in a shallow bowl. Then dip bread in the egg mixture don’t soak.

    Flip and dip the other side. Air fry flipping half way through.

    Temperature and Cook Time

    Air fryers differ in size, wattage and how they cook. Before using your air fryer, I would suggest you read your manual first.

    When you are ready to use it for any recipe, you can check the recipe as many times as you like to determine how your air fryer cooks each recipe. However an exception would be for cake recipes.

    I recommend 370°F / 188°C for 8 mins

    How to serve + Toppings variations

    French toast or sticks are served with a variety of topping with the most common being maple or pancake syrup and some fruits. Below are a list of topping we love her at air fryer yum

    • Maple syrup or pancake syrup
    • Fruits: Strawberries, black berries, blueberries and bananas.
    • Powdered sugar
    • Melted chocolate.

    Frequently asked Questions

    What type of bread is best for French toast?

    Brioche breads are best for French toast. Preferably a day or two old. Any bread with thick slices should work.

    How long do you toast bread for French toast?

    It takes about 8 mins to get a nice French toast in the air fryer.

    What is the difference between eggy bread and French toast?

    There is no difference, they are one and the same. FYI it’s also called gypsy toast.

    Make ahead and how to store

    You can make these ahead and freeze. Leftovers can be left in the refrigerator up to 2 days and frozen for up to 2 weeks.

    Reheat from frozen in the air fryer at 350°F / 175°C for 2 to 3 mins or till warmed through.

    Tips for success

    1. Different brands of Air fryers cook differently. Therefore time and sometimes temp may very from one brand to another. That’s why you might find a time range for some recipes here at air fryer yum. Therefore don’t be afraid to check on your food while it cooks to determine the perfect timing for your brand of air fryer.
    2. I would suggest you use parchment paper when making air fryer French toast and sticks from scratch. I find that even with liberal spraying of the air fryer basket, these tend to stick.
    3. Do not soak the bread in the egg mixture.
