Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of thick bread (sourdough or sandwich bread)
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley or chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F and allow it to preheat for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Lightly butter one side of each bread slice. Using the back of a spoon, press a well into the center of each slice to hold the egg securely.
  3. Add the Eggs: Carefully crack one egg into each hollowed-out section in the bread, making sure the yolk stays intact.
  4. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese around the edges of the egg or cover the egg whites generously for a cheesy finish.
  5. Air Fry: Place the prepared bread slices into the air fryer basket. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes until the egg whites are fully set and the cheese is beautifully melted and bubbly.
  6. Season and Garnish: Remove from the air fryer, season with salt and pepper to your liking, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives if desired. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • You can use any bread of your choice, but thicker slices work best to hold the egg.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly if you prefer runnier or firmer yolks.
  • Butter is optional but helps achieve a golden, crispy crust.
  • For a different flavor, try adding cooked bacon bits or sliced tomatoes on top before air frying.
  • Ensure the air fryer basket is not overcrowded to allow even air circulation.
