Ingredients
Scale
- 2 slices bread (any type)
- 1 large egg
- 1 slice cheddar cheese (or preferred cheese)
- 1 teaspoon butter or oil spray
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C).
- Lightly spray the inside of the air fryer basket with butter or oil spray.
- Place the two slices of bread in the air fryer basket.
- Crack the egg directly onto the center of one slice of bread, trying to keep the yolk intact if possible, or gently scramble it slightly to cover the surface.
- Place the slice of cheese on top of the egg.
- Place the second slice of bread next to the egg toast.
- Lightly spray the top of the cheese and the plain bread slice with oil spray.
- Air fry for 6 to 9 minutes, checking after 6 minutes. Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is fully melted and bubbly. Cooking time depends on your air fryer and desired egg doneness.
- Carefully remove the toast. Season the egg toast with salt and pepper.
- Serve immediately for a quick breakfast or snack.
Notes
- For a variation, try adding a thin slice of tomato under the cheese before cooking.
- If you prefer a crispier base, you can lightly toast the bread in a toaster before adding the egg and cheese and returning it to the air fryer just to melt the cheese.
- This recipe is a great alternative to complex meal planning; it is fast and uses minimal ingredients.
