Ingredients

Scale

Main 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
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Garnish

  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) 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. Then, using a spoon or your fingers, press a well into the center of each slice to hold the egg.
  3. Add the eggs: Crack one egg into the well of each bread slice, making sure the yolk stays intact inside the indentation.
  4. Add cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese around the edges of the egg or over the egg whites to your preference.
  5. Air fry the toast: Place the prepared bread slices in the air fryer basket. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Season and serve: Remove the toast from the air fryer. Season with salt, pepper, and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or chives on top. Serve hot for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • The thickness of the bread affects cooking time—thicker bread may require an extra minute or two.
  • You can use any cheese variety you prefer; sharper cheeses add more flavor.
  • Butter is optional but adds a nice richness and helps crisp the bread edges.
  • Monitor closely after 6 minutes to avoid overcooking the yolk if you prefer runny eggs.
  • The recipe is easy to customize with additional toppings like cooked bacon or herbs.
