Golden, custardy, and crisped up in the air fryer, these French toast sticks make breakfast feel like a treat without any last-minute stovetop flipping. Thick-cut bread gets soaked in a rich mixture of eggs, whole milk, vanilla, and warm cinnamon and nutmeg, so every bite is fragrant and soft in the middle with a deep-golden crust on the outside. The air fryer does the heavy lifting here, turning out sticks that are crisp on the edges and fully set through the center — no soggy spots, no flipping in a skillet. They're easy to portion for little hands or a quick weekday breakfast, and the dipping-stick shape makes them fun to eat straight off the plate. This is a solid pick if you're keeping an eye on added sugar, since the base itself leans on eggs, milk, and warm spice for its flavor rather than anything overly sweet. Serve them warm, straight from the basket, for the best texture.

In a shallow bowl or baking dish, whisk together the eggs, milk, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt until smooth and fully combined.
Working in batches, dip each bread stick into the egg mixture, turning to coat all sides and letting it soak for about 5 seconds per side — the bread should be saturated but not falling apart.
