Make this satisfying, protein-packed cheesy egg toast in your air fryer. It is ready in minutes and perfect for busy mornings or a simple brunch.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 slices sourdough bread
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 teaspoon butter, softened
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Lightly spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
  2. Use a glass or cookie cutter to press a hole into the center of one slice of bread. This will be the base.
  3. Place the bread slice with the hole into the air fryer basket.
  4. Carefully crack the egg directly into the hole in the bread.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the egg and the surrounding bread.
  6. Season the egg with salt and pepper.
  7. Place the second slice of bread next to the first slice in the air fryer basket, or save it for another use.
  8. Air fry at 375°F (190°C) for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the egg white is set and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Cooking time varies by air fryer model.
  9. Carefully remove the cheesy egg toast from the air fryer and serve immediately for a perfect protein breakfast.

Notes

  • For a creamier texture, substitute the cheddar cheese with ricotta cheese mixed with a little Parmesan.
  • If you prefer a runny yolk, reduce the cooking time by 1-2 minutes.
  • Use thick-cut bread, like Texas toast or artisan bread, for the best structure.
