Ingredients

8 slices thick brioche bread cut into 1/3's
3 large eggs
1/3 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup whole milk
2 1/2 tbsp sugar
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp vanilla extract
pinch salt
syrup for serving

Instructions

Prepare the bread, by slicing each piece into 1/3's. Set aside.
In a medium sized mixing bowl whisk together the eggs, cream, milk, sugar, cinnamon, vanilla, and salt until smooth and creamy.
Dip each piece of bread into the egg mixture just until coated, but not soggy. Work in batches if you know they won't all fit in your air fryer basket.
Liberally coat your air fryer basket with non stick cooking spray, then add egg washed brioche slices to fit but DO NOT overlap.
Cook at 360° for 6-8 minutes, cooking until golden brown and flipping half way through.
Repeat in batches, as needed, until all the french toast sticks have been cooked.
Serve warm with syrup for drizzling or dipping!

Notes

For best results leave a little space between all the sticks when placing them in the air fryer. Cook best when air's able to circulate- just the nature of air fryers
DO NOT soak your bread. It will quickly turn to mush. Instead, quickly dip the bread slices in the egg wash mixture. Also, allow excess mixture to drip/drain off before placing in the basket
Liberally spray the air fryer basket with non stick spray in between batches to prevent sticking. In between EACH batch, otherwise they will stick.
If you don't have non stick spray you can line your basket with parchment paper, but make sure to poke holes in it to perforate to allow air flow through.
