Ingredients
  

  • 8.0 slices thick bread
  • 4.0 large eggs
  • 1.0 cup whole milk
  • 1.0 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2.0 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1.0 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 0.0 pinch salt
  • 0.0 amount cooking spray
  • 0.0 amount maple syrup
  • 0.0 amount powdered sugar
  • 0.0 amount fresh fruit

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Batter: In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), and salt until well combined.
  • Dip the Bread: Slice each piece of bread into 3 equal strips. Dip each strip into the egg mixture, ensuring they are well-coated on all sides. Allow the excess mixture to drip off.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
  • Arrange the Sticks: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the coated French toast sticks in a single layer in the air fryer. You may need to do this in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
  • Air Fry: Cook the French toast sticks in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. They should be golden brown and crispy when done.
  • Serve: Once cooked, remove the sticks from the air fryer, and serve immediately with maple syrup, a sprinkle of powdered sugar, or fresh fruit on the side.
