Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

2 slices of bread white, sourdough, or whole-grain
2 large eggs
½ cup shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite blend
1 tbsp butter softened
Salt and black pepper to taste
Optional toppings: chopped chives red pepper flakes, avocado slices, or chicken

Method

Prepare the Bread:
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice. Use a spoon to press down the center slightly to create a small well for the egg.
Add the Egg and Cheese:
Sprinkle shredded cheese around the edges of the bread. Crack an egg into the center indentation of each slice. Season with salt and pepper.
Air Fry:
Preheat the air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the bread slices in the air fryer basket (buttered side down) in a single layer.
Cook:
Air fry for 6–8 minutes until the bread is crispy, cheese is melted, and the egg is cooked to your desired doneness.
Serve:
Carefully remove the toast and garnish with chives, avocado, or red pepper flakes. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

Use Thick Bread: Thicker slices hold the egg better and prevent overflow.
Customize Toppings: Try tomato slices, spinach, or even pesto before adding the egg.
Control Egg Texture:
- 6 minutes → runny yolk
- 8–9 minutes → medium yolk
- 10 minutes → firm yolk
Crispier Toast: Lightly brush olive oil on the edges of the bread before air frying.
Cheese Melt Tip: Add the cheese after 2 minutes for a creamier texture.
