Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of bread
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Hot sauce (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Bread: Use a spoon to press a shallow well in the center of each bread slice, large enough to hold an egg without spilling.
  2. Crack the Eggs: Carefully crack one egg into the well of each bread slice, keeping the yolk intact.
  3. Season the Eggs: Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly over the eggs. Optionally, add other seasonings such as garlic powder or paprika.
  4. Add Cheese: Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs on the bread slices.
  5. Air Fry: Place the prepared bread slices in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 7–9 minutes until the egg is set and the cheese has melted and become bubbly.
  6. Serve: Remove the egg and cheese toast from the air fryer. Optionally, drizzle with hot sauce for extra flavor. Serve warm immediately.

Notes

  • For a runnier yolk, cook closer to 7 minutes; for fully set eggs, cook up to 9 minutes.
  • Use whole grain or gluten-free bread to customize based on dietary needs.
  • Add extra spices or herbs like paprika, chili flakes, or garlic powder for varied flavors.
  • Pair with fresh fruit or a side salad for a balanced meal.
  • Add protein such as turkey bacon or sausage for a heartier breakfast.
  • Monitor closely during air frying to avoid overcooking and ensure cheese melts perfectly.
