Air Fryer Egg in a Hole, also known as Air Fryer Egg Toast or Air Fryer Egg Sandwich, is a delicious and simple breakfast dish made using an air fryer. It’s a twist on the classic “egg in a hole” or “toad in the hole” recipe, where an egg is cooked inside a hole in a slice of bread. The air fryer provides a quick and efficient way to cook this dish, resulting in a crispy toast and perfectly cooked egg.
Here’s a recipe to make Air Fryer Egg in a Hole:
Ingredients:
- 2 slices of bread
- 2 large eggs
- Butter or cooking spray
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped herbs, cooked bacon, etc.
Instructions:
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for a few minutes.
- Use a round cookie cutter or a glass to cut a hole in the center of each bread slice. You can save the cut-out pieces for dipping later.
- Lightly butter or spray both sides of the bread slices to prevent sticking to the air fryer basket.
- Place the bread slices in the air fryer basket. If your air fryer has multiple levels, you can place both slices in at once.
- Crack an egg into each hole in the bread. Be careful not to break the yolks. If you prefer scrambled eggs, you can beat the eggs before pouring them into the holes.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper, or any other desired seasonings.
- If you’re using any additional toppings, such as shredded cheese or cooked bacon, sprinkle them over the eggs.
- Close the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F (175°C) for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your desired doneness. Cooking time may vary depending on the air fryer model and your preference for egg doneness, so keep an eye on them.
- Once the eggs are cooked, carefully remove the air fryer basket and let the Air Fryer Egg in a Hole cool for a minute or two before serving.
- Serve the Air Fryer Egg in a Hole as is or with the saved cut-out pieces of bread for dipping. You can also pair it with a side of bacon, sausage, or fresh fruit for a complete breakfast.
Enjoy your delicious Air Fryer Egg in a Hole!
