How do you make air fryer french toast?

- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, vanilla, and cinnamon.
- Gently dip each strip of bread into the egg mixture, flipping once to coat evenly. Place in your air fryer.

- Remove from heat and enjoy! Dip in yogurt, jam, or syrup!
What is the best bread for making french toast?
French toast can be made with all sorts of bread, but brioche is my personal favorite because you can taste the richness of the bread with every bit!
Brioche is nice and thick while also soaking up the perfect amount of egg. You don’t want to use a bread that is going to fall apart when you soak it in the egg mixture!
Other popular bread for making french toast sticks:
- Challah
- Sourdough
- Potato Bread
- Baguette
Can I freeze leftover french toast for later?
Yep! This recipe, in particular, is great for freezing and serving throughout the week.
To freeze, let the sticks cool slightly and place them on a baking sheet. Transfer the baking sheet to the freezer and allow them to freeze for 1-2 hours. Once frozen, transfer the cinnamon toast sticks to a freezer bag for easy storage.
