Easy Air Fryer Egg on Toast
Ingredients
- 2 slices thick bread
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons butter, softened
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese (optional)
- Chopped chives or parsley (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 180°C (350°F) for 3 minutes.
- Lightly butter both slices of bread.
- Use the back of a spoon or your fingers to press a shallow well into the center of each slice.
- Place the bread in the air fryer basket.
- Carefully crack one egg into the center of each slice.
- Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with cheese if using.
- Air fry for 6–9 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you like the yolk:
- 6–7 minutes: Runny yolk
- 8 minutes: Jammy yolk
- 9 minutes: Firm yolk
- Garnish with chopped chives or parsley and serve immediately.
Optional Toppings
- Sliced avocado
- Crispy bacon
- Smoked salmon
- Cherry tomatoes
- Red pepper flakes
- Everything bagel seasoning
- Hot sauce
Tips
- Thick bread works best because it helps keep the egg from spilling.
- If your eggs are very large, crack them into a small bowl first and gently pour them onto the toast.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model, so check the eggs during the last couple of minutes.
