🥚 Easy Air Fryer Egg on Toast
Ingredients (serves 1–2)
-
1–2 slices of bread (any type: white, whole wheat, sourdough)
-
1–2 eggs
-
Butter or cooking spray
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Optional toppings: avocado, cheese, tomato slices, hot sauce, herbs
Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat the air fryer
-
Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 3–5 minutes.
2️⃣ Prepare the bread
-
Lightly butter the bread or spray it with cooking spray.
-
Place the bread in the air fryer basket. Toast for 3–4 minutes until lightly golden.
3️⃣ Add the egg
-
Crack an egg directly onto the toast.
-
To help it stay in place, you can make a small “well” by slightly hollowing the bread center with a spoon.
4️⃣ Cook the egg
-
Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 4–6 minutes, depending on your preferred doneness:
-
4 minutes → runny yolk
-
5–6 minutes → set yolk
-
-
Optionally, cover the egg lightly with foil if the top cooks too quickly.
5️⃣ Season and serve
-
Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any other toppings like cheese, herbs, or avocado.
-
Serve immediately and enjoy!
