These French Toast Triangles in an Air Fryer are a fun and delicious twist on classic French toast. Cutting the bread into triangles makes them perfect for dipping, serving, or even for kids’ breakfasts. The air fryer cooks them evenly, creating a golden, lightly crispy exterior and a soft, custardy center—all with less oil than pan frying.
They’re quick to make and perfect for breakfast, brunch, or even a sweet snack.
