Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 slices sturdy bread (such as sourdough or whole wheat)
  • 2 fresh eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
  • Butter or oil spray, for coating bread
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Optional Ingredients

  • Herbs or spices (paprika, chives, garlic powder)
  • Diced vegetables (tomatoes, spinach, bell peppers)
  • Jalapeños or hot sauce
  • Cooked bacon or sausage bits
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (basil, parsley, dill)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the egg and cheese mixture: In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, shredded cheese, salt, pepper, and any optional herbs or spices until the cheese is evenly dispersed.
  2. Prepare the bread: Lightly butter or spray both sides of the bread slices to enhance crisping and flavor during air frying.
  3. Assemble the toast: Spoon or spread the egg and cheese mixture evenly over one side of each bread slice, covering the entire surface for uniform baking.
  4. Air fry to perfection: Place the slices in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for 6 to 8 minutes until the eggs are set and cheese is golden and bubbly; watch carefully to avoid overcooking.
  5. Serve warm and enjoy: Remove the toasts carefully and let them cool slightly before serving to appreciate the textures fully.

Notes

  • Use thick bread slices to support the egg mixture without sogginess.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket; arrange bread in a single layer for even cooking.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar and mozzarella for varied melt and flavor.
  • Keep an eye on cooking time after 6 minutes to prevent burning the cheese.
  • Preheat the air fryer for faster, more even cooking.
