Air Fryer French Toast
Air fry french toast at 180°C (356°F) for 8 minutes.
French toast in the air fryer skips the pan entirely and still gets that golden, slightly crisp crust on both sides with almost no attention needed. A solid lazy-weekend breakfast that doesn't tie you to the stove flipping slices one at a time.
Ingredients
- 4 slices bread
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 tbsp sugar (optional)
- ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)
- Honey, to serve (optional)
- 1 banana, sliced, to serve (optional)
Steps
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk with the milk, sugar and cinnamon until fully combined with no streaks of egg white.
- Dip each slice of bread briefly on both sides - a quick dunk rather than a long soak, so the bread stays custardy instead of turning soggy.
- Line the basket with greased parchment and lay the soaked slices on top.
- Air fry at 180°C for 4 minutes.
- Flip each slice and air fry another 4 minutes (8 minutes total) until both sides are golden brown and slightly puffed.
- Press the centre gently to check it isn't wet - it should spring back rather than feel eggy.
- Plate the toast while it's still warm.
- Top with sliced banana and a drizzle of honey, and serve immediately while the outside is at its crispest.
Tip: Slightly stale bread soaks up the egg without going soggy.

Serving & Storage
Serving: Serve hot with a drizzle of honey and sliced banana, or add a handful of berries for extra freshness.
Storage: Best eaten fresh; if you have leftovers, reheat in the air fryer at 160°C for a few minutes to recrisp the outside, since the microwave will leave it soggy.
