Ingredients
Scale
- 6 thick slices brioche bread, cut into cubes
- 3 large eggs
- 3/4 cup whole milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon butter, melted
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- 1 cup fresh strawberries, sliced
- Cooking spray, light coating for basket
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 375°F for 3 minutes.
- In a large bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sugar, and melted butter until smooth.
- Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray.
- Dip the brioche cubes into the custard mixture, coating each piece evenly without oversoaking.
- Arrange the bread cubes in a single layer in the air fryer basket.
- Cook for 8 to 10 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through, until golden brown and crisp.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate until smooth.
- Transfer the cooked French toast bites to a serving plate.
- Drizzle generously with melted chocolate and top with sliced strawberries.
- Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use slightly stale brioche for the best texture.
- Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket or the toast may steam instead of crisp.
- Add powdered sugar before serving for a bakery-style finish.
- Reheat leftovers in the air fryer for 2 to 3 minutes to restore crispiness.
