Ingredients
1 tablespoon maple syrup, plus more for serving
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup coconut milk (or whole milk)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 loaf (approximately 14 ounces) sliced bread (preferably challah, French, or sourdough), cut in 1-inch-thick strips
Cooking spray
Fresh fruit, for serving
Directions
1 In a shallow baking dish, whisk together 1 tablespoon syrup, eggs, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Place the bread sticks into the mixture and allow them to absorb batter for at least 5 minutes.
2 Insert crisper plate in basket and basket in unit. Preheat unit by selecting AIR FRY, setting temperature to 390°F, and setting time to 3 minutes. Select START/PAUSE to begin.
3 Once unit is preheated, spray the crisper plate with cooking spray. Working in batches, fill the basket with the sticks in a single layer, making sure not to crowd the basket.
4 Select AIR FRY, set temperature to 390°F, and set time to 8 minutes. Select START/PAUSE to begin.
5 After 3 minutes, remove basket and flip the sticks. Reinsert basket to resume cooking for 3 more minutes. If desired, cook for up to 2 additional minutes.
6 Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the remaining sticks.
7 When cooking is complete, serve immediately with maple syrup and fresh fruit.
TIP: Leave the bread out for a few hours before cooking so it can dry out a bit—it will soak up more egg that way.
