Description

Enjoy a quick and delicious breakfast with this Air Fryer Egg and Cheese Toast recipe. Thick-cut bread is transformed into a hearty meal topped with a perfectly cooked egg and a melty blend of cheddar and mozzarella cheeses. Enhanced with a touch of mayonnaise for crispiness and optional toppings like green onions or red pepper flakes, this recipe is a convenient and satisfying start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale

Base

  • 2 slices thick-cut bread (Texas toast or sourdough recommended)

Egg and Cheese Topping

  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Additional Ingredients

  • 2 teaspoons mayonnaise
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: sliced green onions, red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise evenly over each slice of bread. Using the back of a spoon, gently press down the center of each slice to create a shallow well that will hold the egg securely.
  2. Add the eggs: Carefully crack one egg into the well of each bread slice, ensuring the yolk stays intact in the center.
  3. Season and add cheese: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs to taste. Then, evenly distribute shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheeses around the edges of the bread, keeping cheese slightly away from the egg yolk to ensure even cooking.
  4. Air fry the toast: Place the prepared bread slices in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for approximately 8 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and the cheese is melted and golden brown.
  5. Serve and garnish: Carefully remove the toasts from the air fryer. Add optional toppings such as sliced green onions or a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for added flavor and color before serving.

Notes

  • Cooking time may vary depending on your preferred egg yolk consistency; add 1 to 2 minutes of air frying for a firmer yolk.
  • Use sturdy bread like Texas toast or sourdough to prevent sogginess and hold the egg well.
  • Mayonnaise on the bread not only adds flavor but helps achieve a crispier texture.
  • This recipe is easily customizable with your favorite cheese or additional spices.
