🥚 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
-

🧠 Tips for Success

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.
