Breakfast is often considered the most important meal of the day, and what better way to start your morning than with a delicious and satisfying meal? If you’re tired of the same old scrambled eggs or plain toast, it’s time to try something new. Enter the Air Fryer Egg Toast – a simple yet flavorful twist on the classic breakfast combination.
Air Fryer Egg Toast
With just a few basic ingredients, you can create a breakfast that is both visually appealing and incredibly tasty. The Air Fryer Egg Toast takes the traditional fried egg on toast and elevates it to a whole new level. The result is a perfectly cooked egg with a crispy and golden toast that will leave you craving for more.
Preparing the Air Fryer
Before we dive into the recipe, it’s important to prepare your air fryer properly. Start by spraying the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent any sticking. This will ensure that your egg toast comes out effortlessly and with a beautiful presentation.
Building the Air Fryer Egg Toast
Begin by selecting two slices of your favorite bread. Whether you prefer whole wheat, sourdough, or a hearty multigrain, the choice is yours. Place the bread slices in the air fryer basket, making sure they fit snugly. Then, using a glass or a round cookie cutter, create an indent in the center of each slice. This will serve as a cozy nest for the egg.
Now comes the fun part – cracking the eggs! Carefully crack one large egg into each indent you created. Don’t worry if a little bit of egg white spills over – it will only add to the rustic charm of the dish. Season the eggs with a sprinkle of salt and pepper, allowing the flavors to enhance the overall taste.
Cooking Time and Temperature
Place the basket into the air fryer and set the temperature to 340°F. Let the Air Fryer Egg Toast cook for approximately 8 minutes. The high heat of the air fryer will ensure that the eggs cook to perfection, with a slightly runny yolk and a set egg white.
If you’re a cheese lover, this is the perfect time to add a small sprinkle of your favorite cheese. Whether it’s cheddar, mozzarella, or even a creamy goat cheese, the melted cheese will add a delightful richness to the dish. Simply sprinkle it on top of the egg during the last minute of cooking, allowing it to melt and create a gooey layer of deliciousness.
Serving and Enjoying
Once the cooking time is up, carefully remove the Air Fryer Egg Toast from the basket using a spatula. The golden toast, perfectly cooked egg, and melted cheese (if added) will create a mouthwatering sight. Serve the toast on a plate and get ready to indulge in a breakfast that is both visually appealing and incredibly satisfying.
The Air Fryer Egg Toast is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with a variety of side dishes. Add a side of crispy bacon or fresh avocado slices for an extra burst of flavor. You can also serve it with a side of mixed greens or a refreshing fruit salad to round out the meal.
