Hong Kong Style French Toast (Air Fryer)

In spite of all the various changes that have taken in my life: kids going to college, fostering a dog and owning one, change of work schedule, and gaining weight, one thing is constant- Hong Kong Style French Toast. This is my comfort breakfast when I need a “pick me up” meal. Normally, this toast is deep fried with “gallons’ of oil, which actually add taste to it, but today, we are cooking it in the Instant Pot Duo Crisp, air frying it for eight minutes or until it’s toasty, yielding a non-oily toast. So delicious!

Ingredients for this Hong Kong Style French Toast (Air Fryer)

Slice Bread- you can use any kind of slice of bread. I prefer white bread. You can use wheat bread or potato bread.
Creamy Peanut Butter- use creamy peanut butter.
Condense Milk- this is used to sweeten the toast.
Milk-you can use evaporated bread if you prefer. Ideally, you can use Heavy whipping cream for this recipe, but you can use whole milk too. In this post, I used whole milk.
Egg
Granulated Sugar

How do you Make It

Step One: Place milk, condensed milk, egg, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and sugar in a large bowl and mix together until the sugar is dissolved.

Step Two: Spread creamy peanut butter on the bread. Place the other slice of bread on top. Dip the bread in the egg mixture on both sides. Don’t soak the bread too much, or it will become soggy. mixture soak into the bread. Roll in the bread crumbs.

Step three: Place the inner pot in the base and place the air fryer basket with the broiler/dehydrator tray. Spray the tray with nonstick oil.

Step four: Place the bread in the tray and spray it with nonstick oil. Cover it with the air fryer lid. Push the air fry button. Set the temperature to 375 F. Set the timer to eight minutes.

Tips:

Hong Kong-style french toast tastes best when eaten fresh; so just make enough for one-time consumption.
Place the leftover sauce in an air-tight container and you can freeze it. This sauce is good in the fridge for three days.
