How To Make Easy Air Fryer French Toast Mug Recipe
Step One: Lightly grease your ramekins with olive oil or cooking spray. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Step Two: Dip each slice of bread into the egg mixture, letting it soak about one minute per side. Transfer the soaked bread into the prepared, greased ramekin.
Step Three: Crack an egg into the center of the soaked bread and sprinkle shredded cheese over the top. Place the ramekins in the air fryer and cook at 330 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes.
Easy Air Fryer French Toast Mug Recipe Tips
- Use sturdy bread: Thick slices hold the batter better and prevent sogginess.
- Don’t over-soak: Dip the bread quickly to avoid it becoming too wet.
- Preheat the air fryer: A hot basket ensures golden, slightly crisp edges.
- Check for doneness: Eggs should be set but still tender in the center.
- Customize toppings: Add fruit, syrup, powdered sugar, or nut butter for extra flavor.
- Cook one mug at a time: This ensures even cooking and proper texture.
Storing, Reheating and Make Ahead Instructions
- Storing: Store any leftover French Toast Mug in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Make sure it has cooled completely before sealing to prevent sogginess.
- Reheating: Reheat in the air fryer at 320°F for 2–3 minutes until warm and slightly crisp. You can also microwave for 30–45 seconds, but it may soften the edges.
- Make Ahead: Assemble the mug the night before without cooking and cover it tightly in the fridge. In the morning, simply air fry for 5–7 minutes until fully cooked and golden.
