Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of thick bread (sourdough or sandwich bread)
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even cooking and achieve a perfectly toasted bread.
  2. Prepare Bread: Lightly butter one side of each slice of bread. Using a spoon, press down firmly into the center of each slice to create a well for the egg, being careful not to tear the bread.
  3. Add Egg: Crack one egg into each well on the bread slices, letting the egg settle carefully into place without overflowing.
  4. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese around the edges of the eggs or over the egg whites to ensure a melty, cheesy topping.
  5. Air Fry: Place the prepared bread slices in the air fryer basket and cook for 6–8 minutes until the egg whites are fully set and the cheese has melted and slightly browned.
  6. Season and Serve: Remove the toast carefully, season with salt and pepper to taste, and garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Use thick slices of bread to prevent sogginess and support the egg.
  • Butter adds extra flavor but can be omitted for a lower fat option.
  • Check eggs after 6 minutes for doneness and cook longer if preferred.
  • Customize with your favorite cheese or herbs for different flavors.
  • To make it vegetarian, ensure cheese contains no animal rennet.
