Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 slices of thick bread (sourdough or sandwich bread)
  • 2 eggs
  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley or chives, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F and allow it to heat up while preparing the bread and eggs.
  2. Prepare the bread: Lightly butter one side of each bread slice. Using the back of a spoon, press down in the center to create a well or indentation large enough to hold one egg safely.
  3. Add the eggs: Crack one egg directly into each bread well carefully to avoid breaking the yolk.
  4. Add the cheese: Sprinkle the shredded cheese around the edges of the eggs or lightly over the egg whites as preferred.
  5. Air fry: Place the prepared bread slices into the air fryer basket. Cook for 6 to 8 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
  6. Season and serve: Remove from the air fryer, season with salt and pepper to taste, and sprinkle chopped fresh parsley or chives if desired. Serve hot for a satisfying breakfast or snack.

Notes

  • You can use different types of cheese based on preference, like cheddar, mozzarella, or even a spicy pepper jack.
  • Butter is optional but adds extra flavor and helps toast the bread nicely.
  • Cook times may vary based on air fryer models, so check around 6 minutes for doneness.
  • For a richer taste, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes before cooking.
  • To make it gluten-free, substitute the bread with a gluten-free option.
