Notes
Add a tablespoon of sugar to the batter if you prefer it sweet
Add more of the spices to the egg batter as you cook additional slices if needed.
Make sure to use air fryer liners or to grease the air frying basket before using otherwise the bread will stick to the basket.
I like using a thick bread such Brioche, Texas Toast, or Sourdough. Use any bread you have on hand. Thinner bread may cook faster so keep an eye on it.
Quickly soak the bread but don’t leave it in the batter too long otherwise it may become soggy.
Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator without toppings for up to 4 days.
Freeze: Make several pieces and freeze them in a freezer bag for a quick breakfast.
Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer for a minute or two or for 30 seconds in the microwave. If frozen, heat for a little longer.
