Notes

  • If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set the temperature to 380°F (193°C) and then let it cook for 4-5 minutes without food.
  • You may also skip preheating by adding 2-3 minutes to your cooking time. However, be sure to check the French toast sticks constantly to prevent them from getting charred.
  • The best bread to use for any French toast is brioche. However, for a cheaper and healthier option, you can substitute it with multi-grain or any other type of bread that is readily available.
  • Pro Tip: To prevent the bread strips from getting soggy, don't soak them for too long. Also, to prevent them from breaking apart, transfer the coated bread slices into the preheated air fryer right away.
  • For even coating, choose a medium-sized baking dish or any container with a flat base for your custard mixture, allowing more room to dip your bread.
  • I used a 6-quart Instant Pot Vortex Plus to test the air fryer French toast sticks recipe. Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of servings you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
