Air Fryer Egg Toast
Air Fryer Egg Toast is a quick and easy way to get crispy, golden bread with a perfectly cooked egg in the center. This breakfast favorite takes minutes to make and delivers a delicious balance of textures and flavors.
Equipment
- Air-fryer For cooking the toast evenly
- Spoon For creating an indent in the bread
- Tongs For safely removing the toast from the air fryer
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread thick-cut, such as sourdough or brioche
- 2 large eggs fresh for best results
- 1 tablespoon butter softened, for spreading on the bread
- ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground, optional
- ¼ cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan, optional
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for even cooking.
- Use a spoon to gently press an indent in the center of each bread slice, creating space for the egg.
- Spread a thin layer of butter on both sides of the bread for extra crispiness.
- Crack an egg into each indent, keeping the yolk intact.
- Season with salt and black pepper, and sprinkle cheese on top if desired.
- Air fry for 6-8 minutes, or until the egg white is fully set while the yolk remains soft. Cook longer for a firmer yolk.
- Carefully remove the toast with tongs and serve immediately.
Notes
- Use thicker bread slices to prevent the egg from spilling over the edges.
- For a richer flavor, drizzle a little hot sauce or add crispy bacon bits before serving.
- Pair with fresh fruit, avocado, or a side of breakfast potatoes for a complete meal.
