Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3 minutes.
2. Lightly butter both slices of bread.
3. Use the back of a spoon to gently press the center of each slice, creating a shallow well.

5. Carefully crack one egg into the center of each bread slice.
6. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder, if using.
7. Place the bread in the air fryer basket.

Tips

• Use thick-cut bread to help hold the egg without becoming soggy.
• If your eggs are large, press a deeper well into the bread before adding them.
• Add cooked bacon, sausage, or spinach for extra flavor and protein.
• Check the eggs after 6 minutes, as cooking times vary between air fryer models.
• Serve with fresh fruit, hash browns, or a side salad for a complete meal.
