Recipe Overview
Prep Time: 2 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 2 slices
Method: Air Fryer
Difficulty: Easy
Ingredients You’ll Need
2 large eggs
2 slices of bread (white, wheat, sourdough – your choice)
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Cooking spray (or a light brush of oil)
Optional: Shredded cheese for topping
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Air Fryer
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray or brush with a small amount of oil to prevent sticking.
Step 2: Prepare the Bread
Place two slices of bread in the air fryer basket.
Use the bottom of a glass or cup to press down in the center of each slice, forming an indent (but don’t tear the bread).
Press gently with your fingers to flatten the center. This indent will hold the egg in place.
Step 3: Add the Eggs
Crack one egg into the indent of each bread slice.
Tip: It’s okay if some of the egg white spills over the sides. The bread will still crisp up beautifully.
Sprinkle salt and pepper on top of each egg to taste.
Step 4: Air Fry
Insert the basket into the air fryer.
Cook at 340°F (170°C) for 8 minutes.
Step 5: Optional Cheese Topping
If desired, sprinkle a little shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, etc.) on top during the last 1 minute of cooking for a melty finish.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
Use a spatula to carefully remove the egg toast from the air fryer.
Serve hot as-is, or pair with fresh fruit, avocado slices, or hot sauce for extra flair.
