Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread (white, whole wheat, or your choice)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter, softened
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Chopped chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) and allow it to preheat for a few minutes before cooking.
- Butter the bread: Spread softened butter on one side of each bread slice to help crisp the bread and add flavor.
- Prepare bread base: Place the bread slices butter-side down on a clean surface for the next steps.
- Add cheese: Evenly sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the top of each bread slice to create a cheesy layer.
- Create egg wells: Make a small well or indentation in the center of the cheese on each slice, then carefully crack an egg into each well, ensuring the yolk stays intact.
- Season eggs: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs to enhance the flavor.
- Load the air fryer: Carefully place the prepared bread slices into the air fryer basket to avoid spilling the eggs.
- Cook: Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Garnish: Remove carefully from the air fryer and sprinkle with chopped chives or parsley if desired.
- Serve: Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your cheesy egg toast.
Notes
- Use any bread variety you prefer: white, whole wheat, or gluten-free substitutes work well.
- If you like your egg yolks less runny, cook for the full 10 minutes.
- Optional garnishes like chives or parsley add a fresh, bright flavor.
- This recipe can easily be doubled to serve more people.
- Be careful when handling the bread slices with raw eggs to prevent spills.
