Ingredients

4 slices brioche bread or Texas Toast
2 eggs
1/3 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon

Equipment Needed

Air Fryer
Air Fryer Parchment Paper (optional)

Instructions

Prepare the Bread
- Slice each piece of bread into thirds to create sticks.
Make the Egg Mixture
- In a shallow dish or bowl (like a casserole dish), whisk together the eggs, milk, and vanilla until fully combined.
Prepare the Cinnamon Sugar
- On a plate, mix the sugar and cinnamon together until evenly combined.
Coat the Bread
- Quickly dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, coating both sides without soaking.
- Either roll the bread sticks in the cinnamon sugar mixture or sprinkle it evenly on both sides, depending on your desired sweetness.
Air Fry
- Arrange the coated sticks in a single layer on the air fryer tray, leaving space between each piece for air circulation. You may need to cook in 2-3 batches depending on your air fryer size.
- Set the air fryer to 350°F and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until golden and crispy.
Serve
- Enjoy warm with maple syrup, a dusting of powdered sugar, or as they are!

Tips for Success

Avoid Soggy Bread: Lightly dip the bread into the egg mixture—don’t let it soak.
Crunchy Coating: For a sweeter option, fully dip the sticks in the cinnamon sugar mixture. If you prefer a lighter coating, sprinkle the mixture instead.
Prevent Sticking: Use parchment paper if your air fryer tends to stick.
Don’t Crowd the Air Fryer: Ensure there’s space around each piece for proper air circulation.
Make Ahead: This recipe is easy to double, triple, or quadruple. Refrigerate or freeze extras for later!
