![]() ![]() The air fryer had worked great, creating crunchy, evenly browned French Toast that was pillowy soft inside. Once I got to the end of the cooking time, I opened the air fryer drawer and was extremely impressed. The crisper plate was so hot that the eggy liquid had stuck to it, making it nearly impossible to turn without losing some of the crispy finish on the French Toast. However, halfway through cooking, I ran into my first problem when I went to flip the bread in the air fryer over to ensure each side crisped evenly. I set the air fryer to preheat while I heated the frying pan, then with the stove-cooked batch underway, I placed a slice of prepped French Toast on the crisper plate in the frying basket of the air fryer, and started cooking. I used a ½ tablespoon of oil and a knob of butter - as I usually would - and fried the bread for three minutes on each side, with the stove set to a medium heat. In order to compare the air fryer to my usual method, I created another batch of French Toast using the same recipe, but reserved for cooking in a fry pan on the stove. I then placed slices of thick white bloomer loaf into the dish for two minutes, before flipping each over to ensure all the eggy liquid was soaked up. I cracked the eggs into a large dish, added the milk, vanilla, and cinnamon, and whisked the liquid together. The only thing left to do was to start preparing the French Toast. So I did some research on air fryer French Toast recipes, and coupled with my previous experience cooking with the appliance - for example, when I made fried chicken to rival KFC in an air fryer or when I discovered that cooking cinnamon rolls in an air fryer is better than my usual method - I settled on a cooking temperature of 385 F / 196 C degrees and a duration of eight minutes. While I felt confident in my knowledge of how to generally make French Toast - like what ingredients to use - I wasn't sure how to use the air fryer to cook the toast, what timing and temperature, which you need to know for something like the Instant Vortex Plus, the machine at the top of our air fryer list. On very special occasions, I make this BBC Good Food recipe (opens in new tab) that’s more indulgent since it uses heavy cream and brioche for a sweeter, richer dish. I have tried a number of French Toast recipes over the years, but have settled on this Jamie Oliver version (opens in new tab) for most occasions. As we already mentioned, French Toast only requires a handful of ingredients: thick-sliced, fluffy white bread (although whole wheat or multigrain will give you a nuttier flavor), eggs, a splash of milk, a pinch of cinnamon, and a dash of vanilla extract. ![]()
