Air Fryer Egg and Toast!

🥚 Air Fryer Egg and Toast Recipe

A quick and delicious breakfast you can make in under 10 minutes with just a slice of bread, one egg, and your air fryer!


✅ Ingredients (1 Serving)

  • 1 slice of bread (white, whole wheat, sourdough, or your favorite)

  • 1 egg

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Butter or cooking spray (optional, for crispier toast)

  • Optional toppings: shredded cheese, avocado, bacon bits, herbs, hot sauce, everything bagel seasoning


🔪 Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Bread

  • Lightly butter one side of the bread (optional).

  • Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press down the center of the bread, creating a shallow well (leave the edges puffed up to hold the egg).

Step 2: Crack the Egg

  • Carefully crack the egg into the center of the pressed-down area. Let the egg settle—some egg white may overflow slightly, and that’s okay.

Step 3: Season It

  • Sprinkle salt and pepper, and any other seasonings or herbs you love on top of the egg.

Step 4: Air Fry

  • Place the bread with egg into your air fryer basket.

  • Air fry at 370°F (188°C) for 6–8 minutes:

    • 6 minutes = runny yolk

    • 7 minutes = soft-set yolk

    • 8+ minutes = fully cooked yolk

⏱️ Pro Tip: Check after 6 minutes if you’re aiming for a soft center.

Step 5: Add Toppings & Serve

  • Carefully remove the toast with a spatula.

  • Add your favorite toppings like:

    • Shredded cheese (add halfway through air frying for melted cheese)

    • Sliced avocado

    • Cooked bacon or sausage crumbles

    • Hot sauce or sriracha

    • Fresh herbs or everything bagel seasoning

  • Fresh fruit

  • Yogurt

  • Hash browns

  • A smoothie or fresh juice

Perfect for:

  • Busy mornings

🧠 Tips for Success

  • Use thicker bread like sourdough or Texas toast for a sturdier base.

  • For cheesy versions, sprinkle cheese over the egg after 3-4 minutes of cooking.

  • Cooking time may vary slightly by air fryer model, so keep an eye on your first batch.
