This Air Fryer Egg and Cheese Toast is a fast, satisfying breakfast made with simple ingredients you likely already have. Crispy toasted bread holds a perfectly cooked egg and melty cheese—all ready in under 10 minutes. It’s ideal for busy mornings, quick lunches, or a cozy breakfast-for-one.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 2 slices thick bread (sourdough or sandwich bread)

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)

  • 1 tablespoon butter (optional)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Optional: chopped fresh parsley or chives

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Lightly butter one side of each bread slice (optional). Press a shallow well into the center using the back of a spoon or your fingers.

  3. Place the bread slices in the air fryer basket and carefully crack one egg into each center.

  4. Sprinkle shredded cheese around the egg or over the whites.

  5. Air fry for 6–8 minutes, until the egg whites are set and the cheese is melted.

  6. Season with salt, pepper, and herbs if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use thick bread to keep the toast sturdy and prevent sogginess.

  • Adjust doneness:

    • 6 minutes for a soft, runny yolk

    • 7–8 minutes for a firmer yolk

  • Customize easily with bacon bits, hot sauce, avocado slices, or a pinch of chili flakes.

  • Check early—air fryer models vary, so start checking at 6 minutes.
