Crispy Honey Toast in 20 Minutes!
This Crispy Honey Toast is an easy air fryer breakfast—crunchy on the outside, soft and custardy inside, with a golden honey glaze. Ready in just 20 minutes, it's the perfect quick morning treat.
Ingredients
- 4 slices white toast Choose fresh, firm slices. Avoid overly soft or very dry bread.
- 2 medium eggs 2 eggs give richer flavor, but 1 egg is enough to coat the toast.
- 30 ml whole milk Optional, but makes the inside softer and more tender.
- 10 –15g honey Use smooth honey (acacia or multifloral). Avoid crystallized honey for even brushing.
Instructions
Step 1: Prep Ingredients
- Cut the toast into triangles (or small cubes if preferred). Use a sharp knife to prevent crumbling.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together 2 eggs and 30ml milk until smooth. Do not over-beat—just mix until no visible egg whites remain.
Step 2: Coat Toast + First Bake
- Quickly dip toast slices into the egg-milk mixture, flipping each side for only 3–5 seconds.
- Note: Do not soak too long, or the toast will become soggy when baked.
- Preheat the air fryer to 180°C (≈355°F) for 3 minutes. Line the basket with parchment paper.
- Place coated toast inside, and bake at 180°C for 5 minutes. Flip gently and bake for another 5 minutes.
Step 3: Brush Honey + Second Bake
- Remove toast and brush a thin, even layer of honey on the surface (both sides if you like).
- Note: Always brush honey after the first bake, not before.
- Return toast to the air fryer at 180°C for 3–5 minutes until golden and crispy.
