Air fryer French toast fingers recipe

French toast made in an air fryer comes out extra crispy. Pour that sweet, creamy, condensed milk sauce on top for a special breakfast treat.

11 Ingredients

* 1 loaf day-old unsliced white bread

* 8 eggs

* 250ml (1 cup) milk

* 1 tbsp caster sugar

* 1 tsp ground cinnamon

* 1 tsp vanilla extract

* 60g butter, melted

Condensed milk sauce

* 395g can condensed milk

* 60ml (1/4 cup) pure cream

* 20g butter

* 1 tsp vanilla extract

5 Method / Steps

Step 1

Use a serrated knife to remove the crust from the bread. Cut bread into 3cm slices. Cut each slice into 3cm-thick fingers.

Step 2

Whisk the eggs, milk, sugar, cinnamon and vanilla in a shallow dish until well combined. Cut a sheet of baking paper large enough to line the base of the air fryer and use a small, sharp knife to pierce holes in the paper. Lay paper on your work surface.

Step 3

Soak 3 pieces of bread in the egg mixture for 1 minute on each side. Carefully lift out and let the excess egg mixture run back into the dish. Place soaked bread onto paper and lift into the air fryer basket.

Step 4

Cook at 180C for 3 minutes, then carefully lift out. Brush tops lightly with melted butter, then turn over, brushing the other side. Return to the air fryer and cook for a further 3 minutes. Repeat with remaining bread, egg mixture and melted butter.

Step 5

To make the sauce, combine condensed milk, cream, butter and vanilla in a small saucepan and stir over low heat until the butter has just melted and the mixture is combined. Serve French toast drizzled with condensed milk sauce.

Man Utd trigger contract extensions for Dalot, Shaw, Rashford and Fred

Manchester United have triggered one-year contract extensions for a quartet of first-team stars, including England’s Marcus Rashford.

Negotiations continue with goalkeeper David de Gea, whose deal is due to expire at the end of the season.

Last week, manager Erik ten Hag said United would be triggering options for Rashford, England’s Luke Shaw, Portugal defender Diogo Dalot and Brazil’s Fred.

All four players would have been free to leave Old Trafford in June.

However, De Gea’s case is different.

If United triggered an extension, it would be on the £375,000-a-week salary the club committed to when they last extended De Gea’s contract in 2019, when he became the highest-paid goalkeeper in the world.

The option for a shorter contract on reduced terms for the 32-year-old Spaniard has been raised.

Without an agreement by 1 January, De Gea, who earlier this season became the 11th player to make 500 appearances for United, will be able to agree on pre-contract terms with an overseas club.

Lionel Messi named best player as Kylian Mbappe wins Golden Boot #FIFAWorldCup

Argentina’s Lionel Messi was named best player and France’s Kylian Mbappe won the Golden Boot award following a sensational World Cup 2022 final.

Messi, 35, led Argentina to their third World Cup title, scoring twice in the final as they beat France in a dramatic penalty shootout.

He netted seven goals in seven games and became the first player to score in each round of the same World Cup since the last-16 round was introduced in 1986.

He is also the first player to win the Golden Ball award twice since it was introduced in 1982 after also winning the honour in 2014.

Mbappe was the top scorer with eight goals, including a hat-trick in the final.

It was the first treble in a World Cup final since Sir Geoff Hurst’s in 1966, when England beat West Germany.

Mbappe, 23, scored twice in normal time and once in extra time as 2018 champions France lost the showpiece at Lusail Stadium.

The Paris St-Germain forward also created history when he became the first player to score four goals in a World Cup finals, having also netted in France’s 2018 victory over Croatia.

Mbappe, who took his total tally of World Cup goals to 12, became the youngest player to reach double figures in the competition.

He joined Brazil’s Vava and Pele, West Germany’s Paul Breitner and France’s Zinedine Zidane as the only players to score in multiple World Cup finals.

Messi, who captained Argentina in what is expected to be his last tournament, netted his 97th and 98th goals for his country in the final.

He has scored 13 goals in the competition and has contributed to 21 total goals in World Cup history – more than any other player.

Messi also won the Silver Boot for finishing second in the goalscoring charts, while Frenchman Olivier Giroud took the Bronze Boot for netting four goals in six matches.

Mbappe was named the Silver Ball winner as the second-best player in the tournament and Croatia’s Luka Modric picked up the Bronze Ball after guiding his country to third place.

Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez kept three clean sheets as he helped Argentina win the World Cup and was given the Golden Glove award.

He played every minute of the tournament and saved Frenchman Kingsley Coman’s spot-kick in the final shootout.

Morocco’s Yassine Bounou and England’s Jordan Pickford also kept three clean sheets as their sides reached the semi-finals and quarter-finals respectively.

Argentina and Benfica midfielder Enzo Fernandez, 21, was named Young Player of the Tournament after a string of impressive performances in Qatar.

He started the final win over France and scored his only World Cup goal in the 2-0 victory over Mexico in the group stage.

Elsewhere, England won the FIFA Fair Play Trophy for the fewest bookings throughout the tournament.

Argentina beat France on penalties #FIFAWorldCup

Lionel Messi finally achieved his World Cup dream as Argentina won their third crown on penalties following one of the greatest finals in the tournament’s history at Lusail Stadium.

Argentina won 4-2 in the shootout after a spectacular game which developed into the much-anticipated confrontation between the 35-year-old maestro Messi and his France opposite number Kylian Mbappe, who scored a hat-trick – the first in a World Cup final since 1966 – but still ended up on the losing side.

Messi looked to be securing the one major honour missing from his glittering collection in comfort as Argentina cruised into a two-goal lead, only for an explosive intervention from Mbappe to turn a spectacular encounter on its head with two goals inside a minute late on.

Messi had given Argentina the lead from the penalty spot in the 23rd minute following Ousmane Dembele’s foul on Angel Di Maria. It made him the first player in World Cup history to score in the group stage, last 16, quarter-final, semi-final and final of a single tournament.

He then contributed a delicate touch within a magnificent counter-attack that ended with Brighton’s Alexis Mac Allister setting up Di Maria for the second 13 minutes later.

Argentina were untroubled until the closing stages, only for Mbappe to give France a lifeline from the penalty spot with nine minutes left – then restore equality with a magnificent volley moments later.

Messi bundled Argentina back in front in extra time, but Mbappe completed his treble from the spot two minutes from the end of a frantic, chaotic added spell.

And so it went to penalties, with the two greats opening the scoring. But Argentina and Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez saved from Kingsley Coman, before Aurelian Tchouameni missed, leaving Gonzalo Montiel to win the World Cup.

Messi, a World Cup winner, at last, collapsed to his knees in the centre circle and was engulfed by jubilant Argentina teammates.
