Notes
Use day-old brioche or Texas Toast for best results. You can substitute with gluten-free or dairy-free options. Avoid soaking the bread too long. Preheat air fryer for best texture. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days or freeze for 2 months. Reheat in air fryer at 350°F for 3–4 minutes.
