Ingredients

For the Toast

2 slices Thick Bread (sourdough or sandwich bread) Choose thicker slices to prevent sogginess and maintain a delightful texture.
1 tablespoon Butter Lightly spread on one side for a crispy, golden finish.

For the Egg Topping

2 large Eggs One egg per toast gives that rich, satisfying protein boost.

For the Cheese

1 cup Shredded Cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, etc.) Use cheddar for its gooey melting properties or get creative with your favorite cheese.

Equipment

Method

Step‑by‑Step Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to heat for about 3-5 minutes.
Take your thick slices of bread and lightly butter one side of each slice. Create a small well in the center of each slice without cutting all the way through.
Crack one egg into the well you've created in each toast, keeping the yolk intact.
Sprinkle shredded cheese around the edges of the egg or directly on top.
Place the prepared bread slices into the air fryer basket and cook for 6-8 minutes, adjusting based on your preferred yolk consistency.
Remove the hot toast from the air fryer, season with salt, pepper, and herbs, and serve immediately.
