Ingredients
Egg mixture
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- ¼ cup heavy cream or use whole milk
- 5 tablespoons sugar
- 2 tablespoons melted butter hot
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon salt
Additonal ingredients
- 4 cups cubed white bread cut into ¾-inch cubes, refer notes for bread choices
- ⅓ cup golden raisins
Instructions
-
Add the eggs to a bowl and whisk to combine. Then, add the sugar, milk, cream, cinnamon, and vanilla, and whisk until the sugar is fully dissolved.
-
Next, stir in the hot melted butter. This prevents the butter from clumping when mixed with the cold milk.
-
Grease a 6-inch round cake pan with non-stick cooking spray. Layer half of the bread cubes in the cake pan, then sprinkle half of the raisins.
-
Pour approximately half of the egg mixture evenly over this layer. Add the remaining bread and raisins, then pour the remaining custard evenly over the top
Use the back of a spoon, gently press the bread into the liquid.
-
Pre heat air fryer to 350°F. When hot, place the baking pan inside the air fryer basket and bake for about 11 to 13 minutes or the top is deep golden brown and a knife inserted in the middle comes clean.
-
Rest for a few minutes, dust the top with powdered sugar. Serve topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Notes
Bread – Use a soft Italian or French loaf, brioche or challah.
To use soft bread – If using soft loaves such as white sandwich bread, burger buns, hot dog buns, or dinner rolls, place the cubed bread on a baking sheet and let it air dry for a few hours before air frying.
Beat the eggs – I prefer to lightly beat the eggs before mixing with milk. This helps the eggs to be thoroughly combined.
