Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of thick bread (sourdough or sandwich bread)
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F and allow it to preheat thoroughly to ensure even cooking of the egg and bread.
  2. Prepare the Bread: Lightly butter one side of each bread slice and use a spoon or similar tool to press a well or indentation into the center of the buttered side, creating space to hold the egg.
  3. Add the Eggs: Carefully crack one egg into the well of each bread slice, making sure the egg yolk stays intact for better presentation and cooking.
  4. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese around the edges of the bread or directly over the egg whites, allowing the cheese to melt and create a flavorful crust.
  5. Air Fry: Place the prepared bread slices into the air fryer basket and cook for 6–8 minutes until the egg whites are fully set and the cheese has melted beautifully.
  6. Season and Serve: Once cooked, season with salt, pepper, and optionally garnish with fresh parsley or chives. Serve immediately while hot for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • Use thick slices of bread to prevent sogginess and maintain structure during air frying.
  • Butter is optional but adds richness and helps brown the bread nicely.
  • Monitor cooking time as air fryer models may vary slightly; check eggs for doneness based on your preference.
  • For extra flavor, try adding spices like paprika or garlic powder before air frying.
  • Herbs such as parsley or chives add a fresh, bright finish but can be omitted if unavailable.
