Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices of bread
Seasoning:
- Salt (to taste)
- Pepper (to taste)
Cooking and Topping:
- Cooking spray
- Optional 1/4 cup shredded cheese
Instructions
- Coat the air fryer basket with non-stick spray to prevent bread from sticking.
- Position bread slices inside the basket, creating a gentle depression in the center using a glass bottom.
- Gently press down the center of each slice with fingertips to form a small well for the egg.
- Delicately crack one egg into the indent of each bread slice, allowing slight egg white overflow.
- Season the eggs with a light sprinkle of salt and freshly ground black pepper.
- Insert the basket into the air fryer and set the temperature to 340°F (170°C).
- Cook for approximately 8 minutes, monitoring the egg’s doneness.
- During the final minute of cooking, optionally scatter a thin layer of cheese over the eggs for added richness.
- Carefully extract the toast using a spatula, ensuring the egg remains intact.
- Transfer to a serving plate immediately and savor the crispy, golden egg toast while warm.
Notes
- Bread Selection Matters: Choose thick-cut, sturdy bread like sourdough or brioche to prevent soggy centers and ensure a crispy base that holds the egg perfectly.
- Egg Precision: Gently crack eggs into the bread indent, keeping yolks intact for a beautiful presentation and creamy texture when cooked.
- Customization Magic: Experiment with toppings like crumbled bacon, chives, hot sauce, or different cheese varieties to transform this simple breakfast into a personalized morning delight.
- Texture Tip: For extra crispiness, lightly butter bread edges before air frying, creating a golden, crunchy exterior that complements the soft egg center.
