Ingredients
Scale
Custard Mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Bread and Cooking
- 2 slices of bread (white, whole wheat, or brioche)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (for greasing)
Optional Toppings
- Powdered sugar
- Fresh berries
- Maple syrup
Instructions
- Prepare the Custard: In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, and pinch of salt until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
- Grease the Air Fryer Basket: Lightly coat the air fryer basket or a small heatproof dish with unsalted butter to prevent sticking.
- Dip the Bread: Dip each slice of bread into the custard mixture, making sure both sides are evenly coated without soaking the bread too much to avoid sogginess.
- Arrange and Cook: Place the coated bread slices in a single layer inside the air fryer basket. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning and cooking.
- Serve: Once golden brown and cooked through, remove the custard toast from the air fryer. Serve immediately with optional toppings such as powdered sugar, fresh berries, or maple syrup for added sweetness and flavor.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add cinnamon or nutmeg to the custard mixture before dipping the bread.
- Use thick-cut bread slices for a fluffier and more indulgent texture.
- Leftover custard toast can be reheated gently in the air fryer for a few minutes to restore crispness.
