INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 slices of sandwich bread
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup cheese shreds
  • Salt and black pepper
  • Optional: butter, herbs, chili flakes, and diced veggies

INGREDIENT NOTES:

SANDWICH BREAD:

  • Sandwich bread has slightly thick and large slices, so it is best for making this recipe. Use the whole wheat, white, or sourdough bread to prepare this breakfast.

EGGS:

  • Fresh eggs are best for preparing this dish. They hold the bread slices and cook equally in the air-fryer. You can make the egg according to your desire.

CHEESE SHREDS:

  • Use the melting cheese like mozzarella or cheddar cheese or its blends. It is better to utilize the freshly shredded cheese because it melts well, though you can also use the pre-shredded cheese for convenience.

SALT:

  • It will enrich the flavor of the cheese and eggs. Sprinkle salt lightly, as cheese contains salt, so add more salt if required.

BLACK PEPPER:

  • It will add a slight spice and also deepen the taste of the dish. It is best to use fresh pepper for a good aroma and strong flavor.

IT’s SUBSTITUTIONS:

  • Make this recipe with different kinds of bread, like whole wheat or whole grain bread, but consider the thickness of the bread and the toasting technique.
  • Experiment with seasonings like onion powder, Italian seasoning, or Everything Bagel seasoning!

INSTRUCTIONS:

  1. Flatten the middle part of the toast with the Mason jar or glass back.
  2. Lightly toast the bread to make it crispier, and then place the toast in the basket.
  3. Now crack the eggs in the toast center, and top it with cheese.
  4. Air fry them for 7 to 9 minutes or till the toast gets brown & the egg sets well.

TIPS:

  • Try to cook the yolk closer to the 8-minute mark for a runny yolk. Cook for the additional one minute or for straight 10-minutes to make the firm yolk.
  • Press the center of the bread consistently with the glass to guarantee that the egg remains settled in the bread and cooks equally in the air fryer.
  • Make sure there is enough space between the bread pieces in the air fryer for the best air circulation and uniform cooking.
  • The temperature and cooking time may differ somewhat depending on the kind of air fryer you own.

RECIPE VARIATIONS:

  • Drizzle hot sauce or sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top to make them spicier.
  • Add some vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms before breaking the egg to make it more crunchy, tasty, and nutritious.
