Ingredients
1 slice thick-cut bread

2 tablespoons shredded cheese
1 teaspoon butter (optional)
1 pinch salt
1 pinch black pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh herbs (optional)
Instructions
1. Press the center of the bread slice using a spoon or small glass to create a shallow well.
2. Sprinkle shredded cheese around the outer edge, leaving the center clear.
3. Crack the egg into a small bowl, then carefully pour it into the well.
4. Season with salt, pepper, and any additional herbs or spices.
5. Place the toast in the air fryer basket.
6. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 6–8 minutes, checking for set egg whites.
7. Remove with a spatula, garnish with fresh herbs if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
Use thick-cut bread like sourdough or Texas toast to hold the egg properly.
Lightly buttering the edges adds a nice golden crunch.
You can customize with cooked bacon, avocado, or veggies.
