Delicious for breakfast or brunch served with maple syrup and berries. If you’ve never made French toast in your air fryer, now’s the time to do it.

Ingredients:
Bread. I use brioche but any white bread/sourdough bread will work. Day-old bread is great as it absorbs more of the custard.
Eggs
Cream. Heavy cream/whipping cream.
Salt
Honey

For serving: Maple syrup, icing sugar/powdered sugar and berries.

Method:

Make the custard: In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, cream, honey and a pinch of salt.
Slice the bread: Using a sharp bread knife, slice the bread into thick fingers or slices.

Soak: Place a few piece of bread into the custard at a time and allow to soak for a few seconds.

Air fry: Remove the bread from the custard and place into the air fryer basket, lined with parchment paper. Spray with oil then air fry for 4-5 minutes at 205°C/400°F, flipping over halfway through cooking, until golden brown and crisp on both sides.

Serve: Remove then dust with powdered sugar, drizzle with maple syrup and serve.

Can I make this ahead?

Although best served immediately after cooking, any leftovers can be kept in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge. Air fry for a few minutes to warm back up before serving.
