Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 3 large eggs Room temperature helps create a smooth custard.
  • 120 ml whole milk Dairy-free alternatives work well.
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon Freshly ground adds extraordinary depth.
  • 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 6 slices thick-cut bread Day-old bread provides optimal texture.
  • 1 tbsp butter For greasing the air fryer basket.
  • 1 tbsp powdered sugar For serving, optional.
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup For serving, optional.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Method
 

  1. Slice thick-cut bread into sticks about 1 to 1.5 inches wide.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth and fragrant.
  3. Pour custard mixture into a shallow dish. Dip each bread stick into the mixture, soaking about 20-30 seconds per side without making it soggy. Place soaked sticks on a plate.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3 minutes.
  5. Lightly grease the air fryer basket with butter or cooking spray.
  6. Arrange soaked bread sticks in a single layer in the basket, avoiding overcrowding. Cook in batches if necessary.
  7. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until sticks are golden brown and crisp on the outside but soft inside.
  8. Remove from air fryer and serve warm with powdered sugar, maple syrup, or your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

Serve warm with powdered sugar, maple syrup, or your favorite dipping sauce for a delightful treat.
