Imagine waking up to the smell of crispy golden toast, warm eggs with perfectly set yolks, and the gentle melt of cheese blanketing it all—ready in just 10 minutes. This is what Air Fryer Egg and Toast delivers. With just a handful of pantry staples and a trusty air fryer, you can create a breakfast that’s satisfying, nutritious, and wonderfully simple.
Not only is this recipe lightning fast, but it also removes the need for a stovetop or skillet. There’s no messy oil splatter, no long prep time, and virtually no cleanup. It’s perfect for busy mornings, lazy weekends, or even breakfast-for-dinner kind of nights. Whether you’re new to cooking or a kitchen pro, this air fryer classic is about to become a staple in your home.
This idea was born from the humble “egg in a hole” — a timeless breakfast dish where a hole is cut into the center of a slice of bread, and an egg is cracked into it and cooked on a skillet. Generations grew up with it because of its simplicity, its taste, and that picture-perfect yolk moment.
But what if we could make it even easier? Enter the air fryer. As this countertop appliance grew in popularity, home cooks began converting their favorite comfort foods into air fryer versions. And one day, a creative cook asked, “Can we make egg and toast with zero pans and all the same flavor?”
The answer was a delicious yes. With a simple indentation made using the bottom of a glass and some basic seasoning, the egg sits snug in the toast as it cooks evenly in the air fryer. The result? Crispy edges, perfectly cooked egg centers, and the option to sprinkle on cheese to elevate it into an indulgent, melty delight.
Since then, this version of Egg and Toast has become a viral hit online and in home kitchens. It’s approachable, kid-friendly, customizable, and always delicious.
