Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 8 slices thick-cut bread (Texas toast or brioche)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup (120 milliliters) milk
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
Cooking and Serving:
- Cooking spray or butter (for greasing the air fryer basket)
- Maple syrup (for serving)
- Optional: powdered sugar (for sprinkling)
Instructions
- Prepare the culinary apparatus by heating the air fryer to a precise 370°F (188°C), creating an optimal environment for transforming ordinary bread into crispy delicacies.
- Slice each bread piece into elegant, uniform thirds, crafting slender toast sticks that promise delightful crunch.
- Combine eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and granulated sugar in a mixing vessel, whisking vigorously to create a luxurious, aromatic coating.
- Immerse each bread stick completely into the egg mixture, ensuring thorough saturation and even coverage for maximum flavor infusion.
- Lightly lubricate the air fryer basket with cooking spray or butter, preventing potential adhesion and facilitating effortless removal.
- Position the egg-drenched bread sticks within the basket, arranging them in a meticulous single layer to guarantee uniform cooking and optimal crispiness.
- Initiate the air frying process, allowing the sticks to transform for approximately 8-10 minutes, pausing midway to flip and promote balanced golden-brown coloration.
- Transfer the freshly prepared toast sticks to a serving plate, accompanying them with rich maple syrup and an optional delicate dusting of powdered sugar for enhanced indulgence.
Notes
- Ensure bread slices are slightly stale or day-old for better absorption of egg mixture and crispier texture.
- Use thick-cut bread like brioche or Texas toast to create more substantial and satisfying French toast sticks.
- Avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation and achieve even, crispy results.
- For gluten-free option, substitute regular bread with gluten-free bread and check for consistent texture.
