AIR FRYER TOAST AND EGGS

by

🥚🍞 Air Fryer Toast and Eggs Recipe

✅ Ingredients (Serves 1–2)

  • 2 slices of bread (any kind: white, whole wheat, sourdough)

  • 2 eggs

  • Butter or oil spray (optional)

  • Salt & pepper (to taste)

  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, avocado, cooked bacon bits, herbs, hot sauce

🔧 Equipment

  • Air fryer

  • Spoon

  • Knife (for shaping bread if needed)

🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Bread

  • Use a spoon to press down the center of each bread slice to form a well.

  • Optionally, butter the edges or spray with oil for a crispier result.

Step 2: Crack the Egg

  • Crack an egg into the well of each bread slice.

  • Be gentle to avoid overflow. If your bread is too thin, consider toasting it lightly first or using thicker slices.

Step 3: Season & Customize

  • Sprinkle salt and pepper over the egg.

  • Add cheese or bacon bits now if using.

Step 4: Air Fry

  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) (optional, but helps).

  • Place bread slices carefully in the air fryer basket.

  • Air fry for 6–9 minutes, depending on:

    • Your preferred yolk consistency

    • The power of your air fryer

🕒 Cooking time tips:

  • Runny yolk: 6–7 minutes

  • Medium: 8 minutes

  • Fully cooked yolk: 9–10 minutes

⚠️ Check halfway through to ensure bread isn’t flying around or overcooking.

Step 5: Serve

  • Remove carefully using tongs or a spatula.

  • Add optional toppings like sliced avocado or herbs.

  • Serve hot!

❓ Q&A: Common Questions About Air Fryer Toast and Eggs

❓ Can I use different types of bread?

Yes. Thicker slices (Texas toast, sourdough) work better for holding the egg. Thin bread might need to be toasted first.

❓ Do I need to preheat the air fryer?

Not always, but it helps with consistent cooking. If you skip preheating, add 1–2 minutes to your cooking time.

❓ What if the egg spills off the bread?

Try these fixes:

  • Use thicker bread or toast the bread slightly beforehand.

  • Make a deeper well by pressing down with a spoon or small cup.

  • Crack the egg into a small bowl first, then gently pour into the bread.

❓ Can I make multiple at once?

Yes — if your air fryer basket is large enough. Just avoid overlapping. Cook time may increase slightly for 3–4 pieces.

❓ Can I add cheese or toppings?

Absolutely! Add shredded cheese, bacon bits, or chopped veggies before air frying. Or add fresh toppings like arugula or avocado after cooking.

❓ Can I store and reheat leftovers?

It’s best fresh, but you can refrigerate and reheat in the air fryer for 2–3 minutes at 350°F. The yolk will be fully cooked, though.
