👩🍳 Instructions
-
1
Lightly butter one side of the bread or spray with cooking oil. Place the bread, buttered side up, into your air fryer basket.
-
2
Gently press down the center of the bread with a spoon or your fingers to create a shallow well or indentation. This will help hold the egg.
-
3
Carefully crack the egg directly into the well. Season the egg with salt and black pepper, and any other desired seasonings like garlic powder.
-
4
Sprinkle the shredded cheese around the egg, covering the exposed bread.
-
5
Cook in the air fryer at 350°F (175°C) for 6-10 minutes. The cooking time will depend on your air fryer model and your desired egg yolk doneness (6-7 minutes for runny, 8-9 minutes for jammy, 9-10 minutes for firm).
-
6
Once cooked, carefully remove the toast from the air fryer using a spatula. Serve immediately and enjoy your quick, delicious breakfast!
💡 Notes
Customize with your favorite toppings like avocado, spinach, cooked bacon bits, or a drizzle of hot sauce after cooking. Use fresh, high-quality bread for the best results. If your cheese tends to fly around in the air fryer, you can lightly press it down or use an air fryer-safe parchment liner with holes for the first few minutes.
