Ingredients
- 6 slices white bread
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 1/2 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 2 Tbsp brown sugar
- Vegetable oil for cooking
Instructions
- Slice each piece of bread into six equal pieces and set aside.
- In a medium sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Whisk the ingredients until the mixture is homogenous and all the eggs have been beaten.
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 390 degrees F.
- While the air fryer is preheating, add the bread pieces to the egg mixture and fold gently until all of the bread pieces have been saturated by the egg mixture. Use a fork or your hands to remove the saturated bread pieces and place them on a large plate.
- Once the air fryer has preheated, coat the basket in vegetable oil or cooking spray and fill the basket with enough bread pieces to fill the basket without the bread touching. Cook for five minutes, or until golden brown.
- Repeat the process with the remaining bread and serve.
