In a microwave-safe measuring cup, combine corn syrup, butter, and granulated sugar. Microwave until melted and bubbling. Stir well and set aside to cool and thicken.

Grease two oven-safe ramekin baking dishes (4-6 oz. each) and set aside.

Melt the remaining butter in the microwave.

In a clean bowl, whisk together half and half, egg whites, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Slowly pour in the melted butter and whisk until smooth.

Pour the egg mixture over the bread cubes in a separate bowl and stir gently until all bread pieces are completely coated.

Place coated bread mixture into each prepared ramekin. Sprinkle with chocolate chips. Top with the remaining coated bread, then evenly distribute the rest of the chocolate chips.

Place the prepared ramekins into your air fryer basket.

Air fry at 325°F (160°C) for 12-14 minutes, or until puffed and golden brown.
