Recipe Overview
-
Prep Time: 2 minutes
-
Cook Time: 8 minutes
-
Total Time: 10 minutes
-
Servings: 2 slices
-
Method: Air Fryer
-
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients You’ll Need
-
2 large eggs
-
2 slices of bread (white, wheat, sourdough – your choice)
-
Salt and black pepper, to taste
-
Cooking spray (or a light brush of oil)
-
Optional: Shredded cheese for topping
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Air Fryer
-
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Bread
-
Place two slices of bread in the air fryer basket.
-
Use the bottom of a glass or cup to press down in the center of each slice, forming an indent (but don’t tear the bread).
-
Press gently with your fingers to flatten the center. This indent will hold the egg in place.
Step 3: Add the Eggs
-
Crack one egg into the indent of each bread slice.
-
Tip: It’s okay if some of the egg white spills over the sides. The bread will still crisp up beautifully.
-
Sprinkle salt and pepper on top of each egg to taste.
Step 4: Air Fry
-
Insert the basket into the air fryer.
-
Cook at 340°F (170°C) for 8 minutes.
Step 5: Optional Cheese Topping
-
If desired, sprinkle a little shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, etc.) on top during the last 1 minute of cooking for a melty finish.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
-
Use a spatula to carefully remove the egg toast from the air fryer.
-
Serve hot as-is, or pair with fresh fruit, avocado slices, or hot sauce for extra flair.
