– 2 tablespoons of water

– 1 teaspoon(s) of sugar (for brushing)

Ingredients TO SERVE – OPTIONAL:

-sugar to taste (optional)

– ground cinnamon to taste (optional)

PREPARATION:

1. If you use French bread, buy it 1 day in advance so that it remains “stale”. If it’s French toast bread, buy it 2 days in advance.
2. In the simplest version, put the milk in a deep dish and simply sweeten it with sugar. However, for an option with a flavor closer to the original recipe, follow the milk flavoring procedure described at the beginning of the preparation.
3. Separate the ingredients and utensils needed for the recipe.
4. Beat the eggs in a shallow dish until the whites and yolks are homogenized, without forming foam.

PREPARATION:

French toast in the Airfryer – Milk Preparation:

1. Mix the milk with the sugar in a dish. If you want to flavor it follow the steps:
2. In a milk jug add the milk and sugar. If you want to flavor it, also add lemon zest (optional), ground cinnamon (optional) and ground cinnamon (optional). Bring to the boil.
3. Once it boils, remove it from the heat, drain it into a shallow dish and let it cool completely.

French toast:

1. Preheat the Airfryer at 200°C for 5 minutes.
2. Cut the bread into slices about 2 cm thick.
3. Depending on the number of slices you prepare, cook them in stages, this quantity depends on the size of the basket of your equipment.
4. Perform the following procedure separately for each step:
   • Line the Airfryer basket with a silicone mat or grease it with a thin layer of oil to prevent the French toast from sticking.
   • Wet the slices of bread in the cold milk, making sure that it is absorbed on both sides – choose the milk version you prefer – they should be very wet, but be careful not to make them soggy.
   • Dip them in the beaten eggs, covering both sides and remove the excess egg.
   • Immediately place the slices in the Airfryer basket, in a single layer, leaving space between them to allow air to circulate. If necessary, break it into stages based on the capacity of your equipment.

Cooking in the Airfryer:

1. Place the basket in the drawer and insert it into the appliance preheated to 200ºC.
2. Cook for about 10 minutes, turning the French toast halfway through cooking with a silicone spatula to ensure even cooking. The indicated time may vary depending on the power of the equipment.
3. At the end of the procedure, the French toast slices should be golden on both sides and slightly crunchy to the touch.

French toast in the Airfryer: Finishing:

1. Place the sugar-water mixture (for brushing) in a spray bottle or small bowl. Use the spray bottle to apply to French toast or brush with a pastry brush.
2. Place the sugar and cinnamon on a plate and mix. Spread the French toast in this mixture, covering both sides generously and evenly.
3. Arrange the French toast on a serving plate.

FINALIZATION AND ASSEMBLY:

1. Serve French toast prepared in the Airfryer hot or cold. If desired, sprinkle an extra layer of cinnamon sugar to ensure a more attractive appearance.
2. Uneaten French toast can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
3. When serving preserved French toast, we recommend reheating it in the Airfryer for 2-3 minutes at 180°C, so that it retains its original texture.
