Ingredients

Main Ingredients

  • Bread slices (2 thick slices, any kind)
  • Eggs (2 large, fresh)
  • Shredded cheese (1/2 cup, cheddar or mozzarella)
  • Butter or olive oil (1-2 teaspoons, for coating bread)
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)

Optional Ingredients

  • Fresh herbs like parsley or chives (1 tablespoon, chopped)
  • Sliced jalapeños or hot sauce (optional, for spicy kick)
  • Sautéed vegetables such as mushrooms, spinach or bell peppers (optional, for veggie boost)
  • Bacon bits or ham slices (optional, for meaty delight)
  • Vegan cheese and plant-based butter alternative (optional, for dairy-free version)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Bread: Lightly butter or brush olive oil on one side of each bread slice to ensure a golden, crispy exterior when air fried.
  2. Crack the Egg on Bread: Carefully crack one egg onto each slice of bread, allowing the egg white to spread around while keeping the yolk intact in the center. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. Add the Cheese: Generously sprinkle shredded cheese over the egg whites, leaving the yolk visible so it can cook perfectly.
  4. Air Fry to Perfection: Place the prepared bread slices in the preheated air fryer basket without overlapping. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 6-8 minutes, until eggs are cooked to preference and cheese is melted and golden.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Remove the toasts carefully from the air fryer, garnish with optional fresh herbs or spices, and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Preheat the air fryer to improve cooking time and texture.
  • Use thick bread slices to better hold the egg and avoid sogginess.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; allow space for even cooking.
  • Choose cheeses that melt well, such as mozzarella or mild cheddar.
  • Keep a close watch on cooking time for preferred egg yolk consistency, especially if runny yolks are desired.
