While your air fryer is heating, in a mixing bowl whisk together four eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla, and ¾ cup of milk.

Serving and Storage Suggestions
How To Store and Reheat
Room temperature. Air-fried French toast sticks can be kept at room temperature for no more than two hours before they should be stored in the fridge.
In the fridge. To keep leftover air-fried French toast sticks for longer, any leftovers should be stored in an airtight container, or sealed in a plastic storage bag. Then place the sticks into the fridge for up to 3 to 4 days.
In the freezer. While French toast sticks should be kept in the freezer before they are warmed, we do not recommend that you placed any leftovers back into the freezer as they did not turn out quite as good the second time around.
