Ingredients
- 2 slices thick-cut bread
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a mix)
- 1 tablespoon butter or mayonnaise (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley or chives, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Create Wells: Use a spoon to press down the center of each bread slice, forming a shallow well to hold the egg and cheese.
- Spread Butter or Mayo: Lightly coat both sides of each bread slice with butter or mayonnaise to add flavor and help with crispiness.
- Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese around the edges of the well on each slice, creating a cheesy border.
- Crack Eggs: Carefully crack one egg into the center of each bread slice well, making sure the yolk stays intact.
- Season: Season the eggs with salt, pepper, and optional spices such as paprika or garlic powder according to your taste.
- Air Fry: Place the prepared bread slices into the air fryer basket and cook at 350°F (175°C) for 6 to 8 minutes, adjusting time based on how runny or firm you prefer the yolk.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the toast from the air fryer and garnish with freshly chopped parsley or chives before serving for added freshness and color.
Notes
- Use thick-cut bread to hold the egg without becoming soggy.
- Butter or mayo helps achieve a crispier toast but can be omitted for a lighter option.
- Adjust cooking time depending on how runny or firm you want the yolks.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheese types for varied flavors.
- This recipe works well for a quick breakfast or snack and can be doubled or tripled easily.
