Ingredients

• 2 slices of bread
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon butter or oil
• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• ¼ cup shredded cheese (optional)
• Chopped green onions or fresh herbs (optional)

Instructions

1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C) for 2–3 minutes.
2. Place the bread slices on a flat surface. Press the center of each slice down gently with a spoon to make a small pocket.
3. Brush a little butter or oil around the bread.
4. Crack 1 egg into the center of each bread slice.
5. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and cheese if using.
6. Carefully place the bread in the air fryer basket.
7. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 6–8 minutes, depending on how runny or firm you like the egg.
8. Carefully remove and serve hot.

Tip

For a runny yolk, start checking around 5–6 minutes. For a fully cooked yolk, cook for about 8–10 minutes.
