Equipment

Ingrediënten

  • 2 medium oranges
  • ¼ cup maple syrup
  • 4 ½ ounces cherries pitted and halved
  • 16 whole cherries extra for garnish
  • 3 eggs
  • ¼ cup milk
  • ½ tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp vanilla bean paste
  • 8 thick slices of sourdough bread each 3/4-inch thick
  • Cooking spray
  • cup plain Greek yogurt
  • cup toasted flaked natural almonds
  • Extra maple syrup and ground cinnamon for serving

Instructies

  • Peel a thin strip of rind from one orange and finely grate 1 teaspoon of orange rind.
  • Squeeze the juice from both oranges; you will need 1/2 cup of juice.
  • In a small heatproof bowl, combine the orange strip, orange juice, and maple syrup.
  • Add the halved cherries and the extra whole cherries to the bowl.
  • Pull out the pan and basket of your 5- or 6-quart air fryer.
  • Place the bowl in the basket and slide the pan and basket back into the appliance.
  • Set the temperature to 350°F and set the timer for 4 minutes to preheat the air fryer and warm the cherry mixture.
  • In a shallow dish, whisk together the grated orange rind, eggs, milk, ground cinnamon, and vanilla until well combined.
  • Dip half of the bread slices, one at a time, into the egg mixture, allowing them to soak briefly, and then drain away any excess liquid.
  • Carefully pull out the air fryer pan and basket, remove the bowl with the cherry mixture, and cover it to keep it warm.
  • Spray the basket with cooking spray and place the soaked bread slices in the basket.
  • Keep the temperature set at 350°F and set the timer for 10 minutes to cook the French toast, turning them halfway through the cooking time, or until the bread is browned and cooked through.
  • Transfer the French toasts to a plate and cover them to keep warm.
  • Repeat the process by dipping the remaining bread slices in the egg mixture and cooking them with additional cooking spray.
  • Serve the French toasts topped with Greek yogurt, toasted flaked almonds, and the warm cherry mixture.
  • Drizzle extra maple syrup and sprinkle with ground cinnamon.
