Air Fryer French Toast
The Air Fryer French Toast top is golden brown and crispy, and it has a perfect dusting of cinnamon and sugar. You might be tempted to eat the top off both the ramekins. But the inside! The brioche soaks up the milk and egg, so it’s custardy like a bread pudding, but not too sweet. Double the recipe if you have guests, or break the servings in half and serve eggs alongside it.
