Lightly toast the Texas toast for 2-3 minutes before assembly to create a barrier that prevents the egg batter from making the bread soggy during cooking.

Use pancake mix instead of flour in your egg batter for added richness and a perfectly golden, fluffy exterior that air fryers excel at crisping.

Warm your raspberry jam slightly before spreading to ensure it distributes evenly and won't create cold pockets that contrast with the hot sandwich filling.

Apply cooking spray to both the top and bottom of your battered sandwich before air frying at 375°F for 8-10 minutes to achieve maximum crispiness without flipping.

Wait until the sandwich is fully cooked and still warm to dust with powdered sugar, allowing it to slightly adhere to the crispy exterior for the best presentation and texture.
