Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 2 slices bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • ¼ cup shredded cheese

Instructions

  1. Create Indention: Use the bottom of a glass to gently press into the center of each bread slice, creating a well to hold the egg without spilling.
  2. Prepare for Air Frying: Place the prepared bread slices into the air fryer basket carefully. Crack one egg into the indention on each slice, and season with salt and pepper as desired.
  3. Air Fry Initial Cooking: Air fry the bread and eggs at 330°F (165°C) for 5 minutes to start cooking the eggs and crisp the bread edges.
  4. Add Cheese and Continue Cooking: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs if using, then continue air frying for another 3 minutes or until the eggs reach your preferred doneness and the cheese is melted.

Notes

  • Cooking time may vary depending on the air fryer model and egg size — adjust accordingly to get eggs cooked to your liking.
  • Use sturdy bread to hold the egg well without becoming soggy.
  • Cheese is optional but adds richness and flavor.
  • This recipe works well for a quick breakfast or a light snack.
