Equipment

Ingredients

  • 2 slices bread I used multigrain bread
  • 1 tsp. Butter optional
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt and pepper
  • Cheese optional

Instructions

  • Take two slices of bread. Using the bottom of a glass, lightly press the center of the bread and sides to form a cavity in the bread.
  • I place the two slices of bread on a parchment paper sheet lining the air fryer basket.
  • You can apply butter or mayo for more browning on the bread slices. I normally skip them. Break the egg carefully on this cavity on the bread. If a little bit of egg white slides down, it is okay.
  • Sprinkle salt and pepper. Now air fry for about 6 minutes at 360F or 180C for set egg whites and runny yolks. If you want firmer yolks, increase the time by a minute or two.
  • Again 6 minutes will be soft yolk and 7-8 minutes will be cooked yolk. There is no need to preheat the air fryer here.
  • If you like cheese , you can add some grated cheese or parmesan after 4 minutes of air frying time. It will definitely enhance the taste.
  • Your egg toasts are ready to serve. Enjoy this easy breakfast recipe for busy mornings. Definitely mom approved and needs basic simple ingredients.

Notes

1. Buttering the slice is your choice. Your bread toast will be browner if you use butter. It will have crunch any which way.
2. I have used egg at room temperature. If you are using yours straight from fridge your air frying time may be slightly higher. The same applies to larger eggs.
3. Remember that subsequent air fryer egg toasts may get done in slightly lesser time as the air fryer is now hot.
4. You can use toppings like chilli flakes, bacon bits, chopped chives, parsley etc. as per choice.
5. You can serve these air fryer egg toasts with air fryer vegetables and breakfast potatoes.
