Instructions
- Prepare the Bread: Using a glass or jar, press a circular indent in the center of each slice of bread to create space for the egg.
- Pre-toast the Bread: Place the bread in the air fryer and toast for 2–3 minutes at 340°F (170°C) until lightly golden.
- Add the Egg: Crack one egg into the indent of each slice. Be careful not to break the yolk.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper over each egg.
- Air Fry: Cook at 340°F (170°C) for 8–10 minutes, depending on how you like your eggs.
- For a runny yolk: Check at 8 minutes.
- For a firm yolk: Cook closer to 10 minutes.
- Serve and Enjoy: Carefully remove from the air fryer. Serve immediately with your favorite toppings or sides.
Notes
• Bread Tip: Thick, sturdy slices work best to hold the egg.
• Avoid Overcrowding: Leave space between slices in the air fryer for even cooking.
• Yolk Texture: Adjust cooking time slightly based on your air fryer model.
• Flavor Boost: Add shredded cheese or herbs before cooking for extra richness.
