Air fryer French toast sticks are perfect for a weekend or holiday breakfast, and they are easy enough for any morning of the week. There’s minimal muss or fuss, and you can easily control the sugar content if you like. The sprinkling of cinnamon sugar gives it a wonderfully crisp and delicious coating.
For the best French toast sticks, use thick sliced bread, such as Texas toast, brioche, or an artisan-style bread. Or you might choose challah or a raisin or cinnamon bread. Air fryer French toast sticks are fun, especially for kids, but feel free to leave the bread whole or cut the slices into other shapes like triangles, if desired.
French toast has long been a favorite family breakfast food. Another name for French toast is pain perdu, which is French for “lost bread,” presumably because it was originally made with stale bread. The bread won’t be lost for long after it’s dipped in the egg mixture and cooked to golden brown perfection.
