This easy air fryer egg on toast is a quick and delicious breakfast that takes less than 10 minutes to prepare. With just a slice of bread, an egg, and a few basic seasonings, you can make crispy golden toast topped with a perfectly cooked egg without using a frying pan.
**Ingredients:**
– 1 thick slice of bread
– 1 large egg
– Salt and black pepper
– A little oil or cooking spray
– Optional: grated cheese, herbs, avocado, or hot sauce
**How to Prepare It:**
Start by pressing the center of the bread with the back of a spoon to create a deep indentation, making sure not to break through the bottom. Lightly grease the air fryer basket, place the bread inside, and carefully crack the egg into the hollow. Season with salt and black pepper.
Cook at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 6–9 minutes. The cooking time depends on your air fryer and how firm you want the egg yolk. If the egg whites are still runny, cook for another minute or two until they are set.
**Tips for Better Results:**
Thicker slices of bread work best because they hold the egg in place while developing crispy edges. For extra flavor, sprinkle grated cheese or fresh herbs over the top before cooking. You can also add avocado or hot sauce after it is ready.
Carefully remove the toast and serve immediately while warm. The result is a crispy, satisfying breakfast with a soft egg in the middle, using simple ingredients and requiring very little cleanup.
