Ingredients
Scale
French Toast Bites
- 4 slices thick-cut brioche or Texas toast, cut into 1-inch cubes
- 2 large eggs
- 1/3 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of salt
- Cooking spray or oil for greasing
Optional Toppings
- Powdered sugar
- Maple syrup
- Fresh berries
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for 3 to 5 minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until fully combined and smooth.
- Soak the Bread Cubes: Add the 1-inch bread cubes to the egg mixture and gently toss to coat evenly. Allow the cubes to soak for 1 to 2 minutes so they absorb the flavors.
- Grease the Air Fryer Basket: Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray or a bit of oil to prevent sticking and promote crispiness.
- Arrange and Cook: Place the soaked bread cubes in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding by working in batches if necessary.
- Air Fry: Cook the bread cubes at 375°F for 6 to 8 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through cooking to ensure they brown evenly and become crisp on the outside.
- Serve and Enjoy: Once golden and crispy, remove the French toast bites from the air fryer. Serve warm with optional toppings such as powdered sugar, maple syrup, or fresh berries for added flavor.
Notes
- Use day-old bread for the best texture and to prevent sogginess.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to cook the bites evenly and achieve optimal crispness.
- For an extra crunchy finish, sprinkle cinnamon sugar on the bread cubes before air frying.
