Welcome to The Oven Diaries, where we prove that amazing meals don't require hours in the kitchen! Today, we're making the ultimate quick breakfast: Air Fryer Egg Toast. In just 5 minutes, you can transform simple bread and eggs into a delicious, satisfying meal that feels special but requires minimal effort.
This recipe uses the brilliant technique of creating a "nest" in the bread to cradle the egg, ensuring it cooks evenly without running off the sides. The TOAST function in your Plum Chef Air Fryer Oven delivers perfect results every time - crispy, golden bread with a set-but-still-runny yolk (or cook it longer for a firm yolk if you prefer). The melted cheese adds a wonderful richness that makes this feel like a café-style breakfast.
Whether you're rushing out the door or enjoying a lazy weekend morning, this egg toast is the perfect solution. Let's make breakfast magic happen!
Prepare Bread: Using the back of a spoon, press down the center of each bread slice to create a well for the egg. Butter the entire surface of the bread.
Add Egg: Carefully crack the egg into the flattened section of the bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper to taste.
Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese around the egg on the bread and over the egg white.
Cook: Carefully place the prepared egg toast in the air fryer basket. Put the Air Fryer Basket into rack Position 2. Set to TOAST function and choose your desired shade (Light, Medium, or Dark). Cook until the egg white is set and the bread is golden and crispy.
Serve: Remove from air fryer and serve immediately while hot and crispy.
Chef's Tip: For a completely runny yolk, choose the Light to Medium setting. For a firm yolk, select the Dark setting. You can customize this recipe by adding herbs, cooked bacon bits, sliced avocado, or hot sauce after cooking.
