1) Do not use fresh bread. It is best if the bread is a little stale or dry. If your bread or panettone is super fresh, pop it in the toaster or in the air fryer for just a short while to take out some of the moisture. 2) Ratio of milk or non-dairy to eggs is 2 large eggs to 1/3 cup milk or non-dairy of choice. We know this is a little less than the common 2 eggs to ½ cup milk, but we have found this gives us the perfect custard texture for a crispy edged French toast but tender in the middle. If you increase the milk ratio in the custard, this can lead to soggy French toast. 3) Do not leave your bread soak in the milk and egg mixture. Instead, just give it a quick dip on all sides. 4) Please do not over crowd the air fryer or pan as the French toast will be steaming instead of frying.
