Here’s a super simple way to make an egg on toast using an air fryer—crispy, golden, and ready in minutes:
Ingredients
- 1 slice of bread (your choice)
- 1 egg
- Butter or oil (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: avocado, cheese, herbs
Instructions
- Preheat the Air Fryer
- Set to 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes.
- Prepare the Bread
- Lightly butter one side of the bread (optional).
- Place the bread on a small heatproof dish or directly in the air fryer basket.
- Add the Egg
- Crack the egg on top of the bread.
- For a more stable egg, make a small indent in the bread with a spoon to hold it in place.
- Air Fry
- Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 6–8 minutes:
- 6 minutes for a runny yolk
- 8 minutes for a firmer yolk
- Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 6–8 minutes:
- Season & Serve
- Sprinkle with salt, pepper, or herbs.
- Add extras like cheese, avocado, or hot sauce.
💡 Tips for Success
- Use fresh eggs—they hold shape better.
- If cooking multiple slices, leave a little space between them.
- Check at 5–6 minutes to ensure the yolk is your desired consistency.
You can even air fry the bread first for extra crispiness, then add the egg for the last 3–4 minutes.
If you want, I can give a 2-minute hack to make a perfectly runny yolk every time using the air fryer—it’s surprisingly easy. Do you want me to share that?
