Equipment

Ingredients

4 slices of bread (any bread that is soft but sturdy, and can soak up the egg and milk mixture will work well here. For extra richness and sweetness, use brioche bread)
2 eggs
½ cup milk (use any milk with the exception of thin skim milk)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon cinnamon
pinch of salt to taste.

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 392°F (200°C) and line it with aluminum foil or parchment paper if preferred. Alternatively, grease the basket using a suitable cooking oil or spray.
In a shallow bowl or plate, make the custard by whisking the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and salt.
Dip each slice of bread in the egg mixture and flip in order to coat both sides.
Lift each slice to drain as much of the custard as possible into the bowl, then place the slices into your air fryer basket. Program the time to 8 minutes, then air fry for 5 minutes. Flip and air fry the other side of the bread for the remaining three minutes or until the surface is golden brown, and the toast is cooked evenly.
Transfer to plates and serve.

Notes

Cooking times will vary, depending on the type and size of the air fryer. Adjust the cooking time as needed for your specific air fryer.
To prevent pieces of egg white from showing up on your browned toast slices, make sure to whisk the custard until the dairy, eggs, and seasoning are well combined.
For easier clean-up, use suitable parchment paper to line your air fryer basket. Additionally, use a plate or a bowl large enough for you to make the custard as well as soak the bread in.
Allow any excess custard to drip off as much as possible, before air frying.
French toast is traditionally served sweet but you can also ditch the sugar and pair this up with savory toppings instead, such as cheese and spinach.

Equipment: I made this recipe using the Ninja Foodi Max Multi-cooker but you can also use other types of air fryers. In this regard, bear in mind that cooking times will vary, depending on the type and size of the air fryer being used. Keep an eye on your cinnamon French toast and adjust the cooking time as needed for your specific air fryer. Also, note that thickly sliced bread will require longer to cook.
