Ingredients

- egg2 large
- onion2 tbsp, finely chopped
- green chilli1, chopped
- coriander leaves1 tbsp, chopped
- milk2 tbsp
- black pepper1/4 tsp
Method
Whisk the Batter
Whisk the eggs with the milk, onion, green chilli, coriander, black pepper and salt into a smooth batter. The splash of milk loosens the egg so it soaks into the bread evenly rather than sitting in a thick coat on top.
Dip the Bread
Dip each bread slice in the batter, coating both sides, and let the extra drip off. A quick dip soaks the surface without waterlogging the slice, so it cooks to a set, golden finish instead of turning soggy.
Arrange in Basket
Place the soaked slices in a single layer in the basket, lightly greased or lined with perforated parchment. Keeping them apart with the holes clear lets hot air reach both faces so they brown evenly.
Air Fry Until Set
Air fry at 190°C for 8 min, flipping halfway, until the coating is fully set with no runny egg and both sides are golden brown. Flipping gives even colour and makes sure the egg cooks right through.
