In this air fryer French toast recipe, crumpets are halved then filled with raspberry cream cheese, then soaked in an egg and milk mixture. They are then cooked in the air fryer until crispy.

Ingredients

200g fresh raspberries

2½ tablespoons caster sugar

125g cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon finely grated lemon rind

4 eggs

½ cup (125ml) milk

1 teaspoon vanilla bean paste

6 crumpet squares (400g)

20g butter, melted

to serve: honey

Method

Preheat a 7-litre air fryer to 180°C for 3 minutes.

Place ¼ cup (35g) raspberries and half the sugar in a medium bowl. Crush the raspberries using a fork. Add cream cheese and lemon rind; mix well to combine.

Whisk eggs, milk, vanilla paste and remaining sugar in a wide bowl. Split each crumpet into halves. Spread the raspberry cream cheese evenly over the flat side of six crumpet halves. Top with remaining crumpet halves, flat-side down. Working with two filled crumpets at a time, soak in egg mixture for 15 seconds each side. Transfer to a plate.

Taking care, line the air fryer basket with baking paper. Place filled crumpets in the basket and drizzle with melted butter; at 180°C, cook for 15 minutes or until crumpets are golden.

Serve French toast crumpets topped with remaining raspberries and drizzled with honey.

How is French toast usually made?

French toast is traditionally made by soaking bread in an egg and milk mixture then frying until golden to create a crunchy exterior with a silky custard-like centre.
