Description
Golden cubes of French bread soak up a cinnamon-vanilla custard, then turn irresistibly crisp and fluffy in the air fryer. Ready in minutes, these poppable bites offer sweet warmth and a hint of spice with every crunchy mouthful.
Ingredients
- 4 slice French bread
- 2 large egg
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- pinch salt
- 1 teaspoon cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the French bread into 1-inch cubes.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth.
- Add the bread cubes to the egg mixture and toss gently to coat all sides.
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Arrange the coated bread cubes in a single layer in the basket, leaving space between pieces.
- Cook for 6 minutes, then shake the basket or stir the cubes and cook an additional 2 minutes until golden and crisp.
- Remove the French toast bites and serve immediately.
Notes
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even crisping.
- Shake or stir the bites halfway through cooking for uniform browning.
- Serve with powdered sugar, maple syrup, or fresh fruit for added flavor.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the air fryer for best results.
