🔪 Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Bread

-
Optionally, butter the edges or spray with oil for a crispier result.
Step 2: Crack the Egg

The power of your air fryer

❓ 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.
