Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 slices bread
- 2 large eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Cooking spray, as needed
Instructions
- Create Bread Indent: Using a glass or Mason jar, press firmly on each slice of bread to create a well-defined indent or well in the center of the bread. This will hold the egg in place during cooking.
- Prepare Air Fryer: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the indented bread slices carefully inside the basket, ensuring the indentations are facing upwards.
- Add Eggs: Crack one egg into each bread indent gently so the yolk remains whole and centered.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper evenly over the eggs to taste, enhancing the flavor while cooking.
- Cook: Set the air fryer temperature to 340ºF (171ºC) and cook for 8-10 minutes. Adjust the time depending on whether you prefer a runny yolk (closer to 8 minutes) or fully cooked yolk (closer to 10 minutes).
Notes
- Use day-old or slightly firm bread to help hold shape better when pressing the indentation.
- For extra flavor, you can add a sprinkle of cheese or herbs before cooking.
- Monitor the yolk closely the first time to find your perfect cooking time in your specific air fryer model.
- Serve immediately for best texture and taste.
