Ingredients
- 1 Bread Slice: Choose your preferred type — white, wheat, or gluten-free.
- 1 Large Egg: Ensure it’s fresh for the best flavor.
- 1 tsp Salt: Adds just the right amount of seasoning.
- 1 tsp Pepper: For a hint of spice.
- 1 tsp Cayenne Pepper (optional): If you like a bit of heat!
Optional Substitutions:
- For a low-carb version, substitute regular bread with keto-friendly bread.
- Replace salt with a salt-free herb blend for a heart-healthy option.
- Add cheese or avocado slices for extra creaminess and flavor.
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Air Fryer
Set your air fryer to 360°F. This ensures the bread gets a nice, even toast.
Step 2: Prepare the Bread
Place the bread slice inside the air fryer basket. If using a thicker slice, consider making a small indentation in the middle to hold the egg.
Step 3: Add the Egg
Carefully crack the egg onto the center of the bread. If you prefer your yolk runny, keep an eye on the cooking time!
Step 4: Air Fry the Toast and Egg
Set the air fryer timer for 6-8 minutes. Cook until the egg white is fully set, and the yolk reaches your desired doneness.
Step 5: Season and Serve
Sprinkle salt, pepper, and cayenne (if using) over the top. Serve immediately for the best taste!
Notes
- Avoid Overcrowding: If making multiple servings, ensure there’s enough space around each slice for even cooking.
- Prevent Sticking: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with non-stick spray to avoid the bread sticking.
- Experiment with Flavors: Add herbs like dill or chives for a gourmet touch.
