Recipes AirfryerAir Fryer Bread Pudding
Warm, custardy air fryer bread pudding with a golden caramel bottom — a cozy, old-fashioned dessert that rescues leftover bread or muffins. The air fryer sets the custard gently into a soft, spoonable treat.
It's comfort in a dish: lightly sweet, vanilla-scented, and wonderful warm. Serve on its own or with a drizzle of cream.
Ingredients
Instructions
Caramelize
Melt the sugar with the water into an amber caramel and pour it into the bottom of a flan dish.
Make the custard
Whisk the eggs with the sugar, milk and vanilla. Add the cubed bread and let it soak a few minutes.
Air fry
Pour into the caramel-lined dish and air fry at 330°F for about 18–20 minutes, until set with a slight jiggle. Cool, then invert onto a plate.
- Day-old bread or muffins soak up the custard best.
- Let the bread soak so the pudding is custardy, not dry.
- Pull it while the center jiggles slightly — it sets as it cools.
