Method
1 - Preheat your air fryer to 170°C for 3–5 minutes.
2 - Lightly butter the bread and cut it into chunky pieces.
3 - Layer the bread into small oven-safe pots or ramekins, scattering chocolate between the layers.
4 - In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, double cream, sugar, and a splash of vanilla if using.
5 - Pour the custard mixture over the bread, pressing it down gently so it soaks everything up.
6 - Let the pots sit for 2–3 minutes if you’ve got time. This helps it go properly soft inside.
7 - Place the pots into the air fryer basket.
8 - Air fry at 170°C for 12–15 minutes until puffed, lightly golden on top, and just set in the middle.
9 - Remove and let them sit for a minute before serving. Serve warm.
