This air fried French toast is a sweet breakfast treat with a crispy outside and a tender inside. Great to take on the go, to serve with a fancy brunch, and everything in between!
In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, cream, sugar, vanilla, and salt.
4 eggs, ¾ cup milk, ¼ cup heavy cream, 1 tablespoon sugar, 1 tablespoon vanilla, ¼ teaspoon salt
Add the bread cubes into the bowl and gently toss to coat.
Distribute the coated bread cubes among the 6 silicone muffin cups.
Optional crumble topping: Break the butter into pea-sized pieces using a fork or pastry blender, then mix with the flour, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Sprinkle the crumble on top of the 6 muffin cups filled with the coated bread cubes.
4 tablespoons butter, ⅓ cup all-purpose flour, ¼ cup brown sugar, 1 ¼ teaspoons cinnamon
Place the muffin cups in the air fryer and cook at 350 degrees F for 15 minutes.
Let cool slightly. Dust with powdered sugar or drizzle with maple syrup when serving.

Notes
If you use need to regular bread instead of cinnamon swirl, add ½ tablespoon of cinnamon to the milk and egg mixture prior to tossing the bread cubes.
No heavy cream? Skip it and increase the milk to 1 cup.
An easy way to make the crumble topping without dealing with cutting the butter into small pieces is to warm it until it's just barely melted, and then slowly add to the flour mixture while mixing. However, be careful to not overmix as the combination will then become smooth.
Make sure your muffin cups are safe to use in the air fryer. You can use individual silicone muffin cups, or a silicone muffin tray (they even make circular ones for use in air fryer baskets).
