🥘 Ingredients
Main
  • 4 slices thick-cut brioche bread (day-old works best)
Batter
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup whole milk
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • nutmeg (pinch)
  • salt (pinch)
Cooking
  • cooking spray (as needed)
Serving
  • maple syrup (for serving)
  • powdered sugar (for dusting)
📝 Instructions
  1. Slice each piece of brioche into 4 equal sticks. Set aside. Shared 💡 Day-old bread absorbs custard better without falling apart.
  2. In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth. Shared 💡 Whisk until no streaks of egg white remain — lumpy custard equals uneven coating.
  3. Preheat Ninja on Air Fry at 370°F for 3 minutes. Lower Oven 💡 Do not skip the preheat — it seals the custard on contact.
  4. Quickly dip each bread stick into the custard mixture — about 2 seconds per side. Do not soak. Let excess drip off. Shared 💡 Quick dip, not a soak. Oversaturated bread becomes soggy, not crispy.
  5. Lightly spray the baking pan with cooking spray. Arrange sticks in a single layer. Air Fry at 370°F for 4 minutes. Lower Oven 💡 A light spray on the pan prevents sticking.
  6. Carefully flip each stick using tongs. Air Fry at 370°F for another 4 minutes until golden brown and crisp. Lower Oven 💡 Sticks should feel firm and spring back slightly when pressed.
  7. Transfer to a plate, dust with powdered sugar, and serve warm with maple syrup for dipping. Shared 💡 Serve immediately — French toast sticks lose crispness as they cool.
💡 Ninja Tips

Use thick-sliced bread (at least 1 inch). Thin bread turns into croutons. If using fresh bread, toast it lightly first to dry it out. Cinnamon sugar dusted on after cooking adds extra crunch.

Scaling: To double: cook in two batches. The batter scales linearly. To halve: use 2 slices of bread, 1 egg, and reduce milk to 3 tbsp.
