Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread (white, whole wheat, or your choice)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the toast.
- Butter the bread: Spread softened butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread to enhance flavor and help achieve a crispy texture.
- Arrange bread slices: Place the buttered sides down on a clean surface, ready for the next steps.
- Add cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top side of each bread slice, covering the surface well for a cheesy base.
- Create a well and add eggs: Make a small indentation in the center of the cheese on each slice. Carefully crack one egg into each well, ensuring the yolk stays intact.
- Season eggs: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs to taste, adding flavor before cooking.
- Transfer to air fryer: Gently place the prepared bread slices into the air fryer basket, taking care not to spill the eggs.
- Air fry: Cook for 8-10 minutes until the egg whites are set, the yolks are cooked to your preference, and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish: Remove carefully and sprinkle with chopped chives or parsley if desired for a fresh, flavorful finish.
- Serve: Serve immediately while hot and enjoy this cheesy, egg-filled toast.
Notes
- You can use any type of bread you prefer, such as sourdough, multigrain, or gluten-free bread.
- Adjust cooking time slightly if you like your egg yolks runny or fully cooked.
- Feel free to add other toppings like cooked bacon, spinach, or hot sauce for variety.
- To avoid spillover, make a deep enough well in the cheese to hold the egg comfortably.
