Ingredients

  • 4 slices brioche or challah bread, each slice cut into 4 sticks
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 TBS cream, half and half, or milk
  • ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ⅛ teaspoon salt
  • nonstick oil spray

Instructions

  1. Slice brioche or challah bread into thick slices. Then each slice into 3-4 sticks (depending on how wide the bread is). Set aside.

  2. In a medium bowl, add egg, cream/half and half, vanilla, and cinnamon; whisk to combine completely; set aside

  3. Make an assembly line: setup whisked egg mixture and bread next to each other.

  4. Spray the air fryer basket with nonstick oil spray or use a parchment paper liner so the bread doesn’t stick to the basket (this is important).

  5. Dip the sticks into the egg mixture being sure to flip and coat both sides. Lift out of the mixture and allow to drip for a few seconds, then place into the air fryer basket. Repeat for remaining sticks. **I fit 11 sticks in my air fryer, however you may fit more or less depending on the size. 2-3 batches might be necessary. Do not overcrowd or they will not get crispy.**

  6. Close the Air Fryer and set to 400 degrees and 4 minutes. After 4 minutes, open the basket and carefully flip the french toast sticks. Close the air fryer and cook 3-4 more minutes at 400 degrees. *Time may vary slightly depending in air fryer model.*

  7. Remove the french toast sticks when finished and then cook remaining air fryer french toast sticks.

  8. Serve with warm maple syrup for dipping!
