Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 slices thick bread (sourdough or sandwich bread)
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)

Additional Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional, for toasting)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to heat up, which helps ensure even cooking of the eggs and toasts.
  2. Prepare the bread: Lightly butter one side of each bread slice, then use a spoon to press a small well or indentation into the center where the egg will sit.
  3. Add the eggs: Carefully crack one egg into the well of each bread slice, trying to keep the yolk intact and centered within the bread.
  4. Top with cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly around the edges of the egg whites, or over the top of the eggs for a gooey, melted finish.
  5. Air fry the toast: Place the prepared bread slices in the air fryer basket and cook for 6–8 minutes until the egg whites are set and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly.
  6. Season and serve: Remove the toast from the air fryer, season with salt, pepper, and optionally garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • Use thick slices of bread to better hold the egg without breaking or leaking.
  • You can customize the cheese choice based on preference; cheddar and mozzarella both melt well.
  • For a runnier yolk, reduce cook time slightly; for fully set yolk, add a minute or two.
  • Butter is optional but adds flavor and helps toast the bread nicely.
  • This recipe can be doubled or tripled; just cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket.
