1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C) for 3 minutes.
2. Lightly butter or brush one side of each bread slice with olive oil.
3. Press the center of each bread slice gently with a spoon to create a small pocket for the egg.

2. Carefully crack one egg into the center of each slice.
3. Season with salt, black pepper, and paprika or chili flakes.
4. Add shredded cheese on top if desired.

2. Check the egg and continue cooking for 1–2 more minutes if needed.

Air Fryer Tips

• Use thicker bread slices to prevent the egg from soaking through.
• If your bread is very thin, lightly toast it for 1–2 minutes before adding the egg.
• For extra flavor, add cooked bacon, spinach, mushrooms, or sliced tomatoes before air frying.
