Ingredients

  • 6 slices of thick bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • Cooking spray or oil for greasing

Directions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Cut each slice of bread into 3 equal strips to make sticks.
  3. In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, nutmeg (if using), sugar, and salt.
  4. Dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, coating all sides evenly. Let any excess mixture drip off.
  5. Lightly grease the air fryer basket with cooking spray or oil to prevent sticking. Place the bread sticks in a single layer in the basket.
  6. Cook in the preheated air fryer for 5-6 minutes or until golden brown, flipping halfway through cooking.
  7. Remove the French toast sticks from the air fryer and repeat the process with the remaining sticks.
  8. Serve the French toast sticks warm with maple syrup, powdered sugar, or your favorite dipping sauce.
