Equipment

Ingredients

Egg mixture

2 large eggs
1 cup whole milk
¼ cup heavy cream or use whole milk
5 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons melted butter hot
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
⅛ teaspoon salt

Additonal ingredients

4 cups cubed white bread cut into ¾-inch cubes, refer notes for bread choices
⅓ cup golden raisins

Instructions

Add the eggs to a bowl and whisk to combine. Then, add the sugar, milk, cream, cinnamon, and vanilla, and whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
Next, stir in the hot melted butter. This prevents the butter from clumping when mixed with the cold milk.
Grease a 6-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray. Layer half of the bread cubes in the cake pan, then sprinkle half of the raisins.
Pour approximately half of the egg mixture evenly over this layer. Add the remaining bread and raisins, then pour the remaining custard evenly over the top
Use the back of a spoon, gently press the bread into the liquid.
Pre heat air fryer to 350°F. When hot, place the baking pan inside the air fryer basket and bake for about 11 to 13 minutes or the top is deep golden brown and a knife inserted in the middle comes clean.
Rest for a few minutes, dust the top with powdered sugar. Serve topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes

Bread - Use a soft Italian or French loaf, brioche or challah.

To use soft bread - If using soft loaves such as white sandwich bread, burger buns, hot dog buns, or dinner rolls, place the cubed bread on a baking sheet and let it air dry for a few hours before air frying.

Beat the eggs - I prefer to lightly beat the eggs before mixing with milk. This helps the eggs to be thoroughly combined.
