Ingredients

  • 2 eggs large
  • 2 slices bread any type or kind will do
  • ¼ cup shredded cheese
  • 1/16 teaspoon salt or to taste
  • 1/16 teaspoon pepper or to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 360°F (182°C).
    Preheating Instant Pot Vortex Plus Air Fryer to 360°F (182°C).
  • Create a well in the middle of your bread slices using the bottom of a small bowl, a spoon, or a glass.
    Making a well in the bread slice
  • Put together the egg on toast. Once the air fryer is preheated, remove the basket completely making sure it’s flat on your countertop. Then, add the welled bread slices and crack the eggs directly into the holes. Salt and pepper to taste.

  • Carefully place the air fryer basket back into the air fryer unit. Then air fry the egg toasts for 5-6 minutes. The eggs won’t be cooked at this point. We’ll continue cooking it after adding the shredded cheese.

Notes

  • If your air fryer doesn't have a preheating option, you can set the temperature to 360°F (182°C) and then let it cook for 3-4 minutes without food.
  • Preheating your air fryer is highly recommended for a more accurate cooking time.
  • Make sure the air fryer basket is leveled so that the raw egg won't spill.
  • This recipe is tested for 2 egg toasts on a 6-quart air fryer. If you want to make more egg toasts in one go, adjust the cooking time accordingly.
  • Pro Tip: Crack your egg into a small bowl, and then use it to transfer the raw egg into the well of your bread slice. Cracking an egg directly into your air fryer is a bit messy.
  • If you don’t want to add shredded cheese, the same cooking time will apply. Cooking it at low heat first allows the bottom of the egg to be cooked.
  • We experimented with creating a hole in the bread slice, but each time, the egg got separated from the bread. The most effective method for making egg toast in an air fryer is to create a well from the bread slice.
  • While air fryers can be helpful with some recipes, we do not recommend using them for making egg toast. The liner will disrupt the air flow, and you may end up with raw egg whites. The only solution would be to cook your egg toasts for a longer period, which may result in overcooked or burnt toast.
  • Cooking time and temperature may vary depending on your air fryer and the number of egg toasts you are making. For optimal results, begin with the lower end of the suggested cooking time.
