Description

Discover breakfast anew with this innovative recipe that combines the classic French toast with the modernity of cooking in an Air Fryer. This dish is a true feast for the senses: a crispy, golden slice of delicate, buttery brioche bread, with a perfectly baked egg at its heart, featuring a runny, velvety yolk. The whole is complemented by creamy, fresh avocado, seasoned with lemon juice and a pinch of pepper, creating the perfect contrast to the sweet notes of cinnamon and vanilla. The dish is not only incredibly tasty but also visually striking – the combination of gold, white, and green colors makes it an ideal choice for a lazy weekend breakfast, an elegant brunch, or a romantic morning for two. Thanks to the use of a fat-free fryer, the toasts are evenly baked and crispy without excess fat, while the egg cooks to perfection.

Preparation steps

Preparation of the toasts

1

On a cutting board, place one slice of brioche bread. Take a glass with a diameter of about 5-6 cm or a round cookie cutter. Press it into the center of the slice and push down firmly to create an indentation. Be careful not to cut through the bread completely. The goal is to flatten the center, creating a 'nest' for the egg. Repeat the process with the second slice.

Ingredients: Brioche bread
Use a thick, stale slice of bread (e.g., one-day-old) – it will be more stable and better absorb the egg mixture without falling apart. If the center of the bread comes out, don't worry, just place it back at the bottom of the indentation.
2

Prepare the egg mixture. In a flat, wide dish (e.g., a deep plate or baking dish), crack one egg. Add milk, vanilla sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt. Take a fork or whisk and vigorously beat the ingredients for about a minute, until the mixture is smooth, fluffy, and free of visible egg white lumps.

Ingredients: Chicken egg, Milk 3.2%, Sugar with real vanilla, Ground cinnamon, Salt
Use a dish that can comfortably fit the entire slice of bread. Thoroughly mixing the ingredients is key to ensure that each piece of toast is evenly coated with the aromatic mixture.
3

Dip each slice of bread with the indentation into the prepared egg mixture. First, one side for about 5-10 seconds, and then the other side for another 5-10 seconds. The bread should be well soaked, but not dripping with liquid, as it will become too soft. Gently lift the slice, allowing the excess mixture to flow back into the container.

Ingredients: Brioche bread
Do not soak the bread for too long! The goal is to moisten the surface, not to soak the entire slice. If you are using fresh, very soft bread, reduce the soaking time to 3-4 seconds per side.

Baking in the Air Fryer

4

Prepare the air fryer. Line the Air Fryer basket with a piece of parchment paper, cutting it to the appropriate size. In a small bowl, melt the butter (you can do this in the microwave for 15-20 seconds). Using a kitchen brush, coat both sides of each soaked slice of bread with the melted butter. Place the toasts in the fryer basket, leaving a small gap between them.

Ingredients: Butter
Baking paper will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier. If you don't have a brush, you can gently spread the butter with the back of a teaspoon. Don't skip the butter – it will give the toast crispiness and a beautiful color.
5

Now the most important moment: cracking the eggs. Very carefully crack one egg directly into the indentation in each slice of bread. Try to keep the yolk intact and centered. If a little egg white spills over the indentation, don't worry, it will set during baking.

Ingredients: Chicken egg
To avoid eggshells in your egg, you can first crack the egg into a small bowl and then gently pour it into the indentation in the toast. This gives you more control and allows you to easily remove any potential pieces of shell.
6

Remove the basket from the air fryer. Set the temperature to 180°C and the time to 8-10 minutes. The cooking time depends on the power of your device and your preferred doneness of the yolk. After 8 minutes, the egg white should be fully set, while the yolk remains runny. If you prefer a firmer yolk, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Every Air Fryer works a little differently, so for the first time, it's a good idea to check the toast after 7-8 minutes. Gently shake the basket – if the egg white is still translucent and 'jiggles', it needs more time. The toast should be golden-brown and crispy around the edges.

Preparing avocado

7

While the toast is baking, prepare the avocado paste. Cut the avocado in half lengthwise, rotating the knife around the pit. Twist both halves in opposite directions to separate them. Gently insert the knife blade into the pit and twist to remove it. Use a spoon to scoop the flesh out of the skin and transfer it to a bowl. Add lemon juice, a pinch of salt, and freshly ground pepper. Mash everything with a fork to your desired consistency – you can leave larger pieces or make it completely smooth.

Ingredients: Awokado hass, Lemon juice, Salt, Pieprz czarny świeżo mielony
Add lemon juice immediately after removing the flesh – this will prevent it from oxidizing and browning. Do not prepare the avocado paste too far in advance; it tastes best fresh.

Serving

8

When the toasts are ready, carefully remove them from the Air Fryer basket using a spatula. Transfer to plates. Spread the prepared avocado paste on the toasts, surrounding the baked egg. Garnish the dish by sprinkling optional chili flakes for spiciness and finely chopped chives for freshness. Finally, if you enjoy the combination of sweet and salty flavors, drizzle everything with a bit of maple syrup. Serve immediately while hot.

Ingredients: Chili flakes, Fresh chives, Maple syrup
Be careful when removing the toast, it's hot! It's best to use a wide, flat silicone or wooden spatula to avoid damaging the egg. The dish tastes best right after preparation, when the toast is crispy and the yolk is runny.

Fun Fact

💡

The name 'French toast' is somewhat misleading. Although popular in France under the name 'pain perdu' (lost bread), their history dates back to the Roman Empire. Recipes for a dish resembling French toast can be found in a 4th-century cookbook by Apicius. It was a clever way to use stale bread so that nothing went to waste.

Tips

🍽️ Serving

Serve the toast immediately after preparation to enjoy the perfect contrast of crispy bread, runny yolk, and creamy avocado. They pair wonderfully with fresh fruits like blueberries, raspberries, or orange slices, which will add lightness and acidity to the dish. Next to it, place a cup of good coffee, tea, or freshly squeezed orange juice.

🥡 Storage

This dish is definitely best fresh and it is not recommended to store or reheat it. After reheating, the toast will lose its crunch, the avocado will darken, and the egg yolk will harden, losing all its charm. If you must, you can store leftovers in the fridge for a few hours, but consider this a last resort.
