- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- A pinch of salt
- Cooking spray or melted butter for greasing
Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Cut each slice of bread into three or four strips, depending on the desired thickness of your sticks.
- Make the Batter: In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon, sugar, and salt until well combined.
- Coat the Bread: Dip each bread strip into the batter, ensuring all sides are coated. Let any excess batter drip off.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) for about 3-5 minutes.
