Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 4 thick slices of sturdy bread (such as brioche or Texas toast)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk or cream
  • 2 tablespoons sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional Ingredients

  • ½ teaspoon cinnamon or nutmeg
  • Butter or cooking spray (for greasing the air fryer basket)
  • Fresh fruit toppings (e.g., berries, sliced bananas, apple cinnamon)
  • Chopped pecans or almonds for nutty crunch
  • Melted chocolate or Nutella for drizzling after cooking

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk or cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined. If desired, add cinnamon or nutmeg to the mixture for extra flavor.
  2. Soak the Bread: Dip each bread slice into the custard mixture, allowing it to soak for about 20-30 seconds on each side. Ensure the bread absorbs enough custard without becoming too soggy.
  3. Preheat and Grease the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for about 3 minutes. Lightly grease the air fryer basket with butter or cooking spray to prevent sticking.
  4. Air Fry the Custard Toast: Place the soaked bread slices in a single layer in the basket. Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the toast is golden and crispy on the outside but creamy inside.
  5. Serve Warm: Remove from the air fryer and serve immediately with your favorite toppings or garnishes for a delightful breakfast experience.

Notes

  • Choose thick bread slices like brioche or Texas toast to hold custard without collapsing.
  • Do not over-soak the bread; a quick dip of 20-30 seconds per side is sufficient.
  • Flip the toast halfway through cooking for even browning.
  • Preheat the air fryer to ensure a crisp exterior.
  • Adjust cooking time based on air fryer model and bread thickness.
