Ingredients
  

  • 2 slices of bread white, sourdough, or whole grain
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ tbsp butter or olive oil optional
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Optional Add-ons:

  • Shredded cheese cheddar, mozzarella, or parmesan
  • Avocado slices or mashed avocado
  • Crispy bacon bits or ham pieces
  • Chili flakes or everything bagel seasoning

Instructions
 

  • Preheat Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
  • Prepare the Toast: Lightly butter each slice of bread. Use a spoon to press a shallow well in the center (this keeps the egg from sliding off).
  • Add the Egg: Crack one egg into each well.
  • Season: Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional toppings like cheese or herbs.
  • Cook: Air fry for 6–8 minutes, depending on your air fryer and preferred yolk doneness.
  • Garnish & Serve: Top with fresh parsley or chives and enjoy immediately!

Notes

Tips & Variations

For runny yolks, cook 6 minutes; for firm yolks, cook 8–9 minutes.
Add cheese halfway through cooking for a perfectly melted top.
Try sourdough or whole grain bread for extra flavor and crunch.
Sprinkle herbs or seasoning blends before cooking for added taste.
Make it a breakfast sandwich by adding avocado or ham between two slices!

Storage

Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
Reheat: Warm in the air fryer at 300°F (150°C) for 2–3 minutes until crispy again.
Freezing: Not recommended (eggs may become rubbery).
