Ingredients

  • 2 slices bread
  • 2 large eggs
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese (optional)
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Use the bottom of a glass to make an indentation in each slice of bread.
  2. Step 2: Place the bread slices in the air fryer basket. Carefully crack one egg into each indentation, then sprinkle with salt and pepper.
  3. Step 3: Air fry at 330 degrees Fahrenheit for 5 minutes.
  4. Step 4: If using, sprinkle shredded cheese over the eggs. Continue cooking for another 3 minutes or until the eggs reach your desired doneness.

Tips & Variations

  • Try using different types of bread like sourdough or whole wheat for extra flavor and texture.
  • Add herbs such as chives or parsley on top for a fresh touch.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly for runnier or firmer yolks depending on your preference.

Storage

Best enjoyed fresh, but you can store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave to avoid overcooking the eggs.

How to Serve

A piece of toasted bread with a crispy light brown texture forms the base layer. In the center of the toast, there is a perfectly cooked fried egg with a smooth, shiny white layer surrounding a glossy, yellow yolk that has some small black pepper specks on top. The toast and egg are placed on a black air fryer grill with ridges and holes visible underneath. To the right, a small part of another toast with a fried egg is slightly visible. The whole scene is set against a white marbled texture. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
