Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 3/4 cup whole milk
  • 3 eggs
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 teaspoon instant espresso powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 5 slices bacon, crisp-cooked
  • 4 cups 3/4-inch brioche cubes
  • 1 medium Honeycrisp apple, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped pecans

Method
 

  1. Whisk together milk, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla, espresso powder, cinnamon, and salt in a large bowl.
  2. Crumble 3 slices bacon. Add brioche cubes, apple, and crumbled bacon to custard mixture; toss to combine. Let stand to allow brioche to soak up custard mixture, 10 minutes.
  3. Divide brioche mixture among 8 (2 1/2-inch) silicone muffin cups (cups will be very full). Top with pecans.
  4. Working in batches as needed, place muffin cups in an air fryer basket. Cook at 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) until puffed and golden, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should register 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from air fryer and let stand 10 minutes.
  5. Meanwhile, break remaining 2 slices bacon into 8 pieces. Top each French toast cup with 1 piece of bacon.
