Tip

When preparing your delectable air fryer egg toast, opt for bread slices that are not too thick. If they are, you might find the centre staying a tad undercooked.

Tip

As you lay out your toast slices, be diligent in creating a deep indent with a glass. It will ensure the egg nests snugly without running off the toast.

Questions about air fryer egg toast

If you are new to cooking with an air fryer, you may wonder if it can truly master the delicate balance of a fried egg on toast. And if so, what parings and timings ensure absolute perfection? Dive into the answers below to learn more.

Can you make fried egg on toast in an air fryer?
Absolutely! The magic of an air fryer lies in its ability to circulate heat efficiently, ensuring that both egg and toast are cooked to perfection. This means you get a toast base that is wonderfully crispy and golden, while the egg retains a tender, almost silky consistency. Beyond just cooking, the distinctive cooking process is exceptional at sealing in those rich flavours and ensuring every bite is bursting with flavour.
What to serve with air fryer egg toast?
While the egg toast is delectable on its own with its creamy centre and crispy exterior, enhancing it with accompaniments like fresh chives, radishes, and a hint of Dijon mustard truly transforms it into a decadent treat. The chives introduce a subtle, onion-like freshness, radishes offer a satisfying crunch and peppery bite, while the Dijon mustard delivers a tangy kick. Together, these additions harmoniously blend freshness, texture, and spice.
How long to cook egg toast in an air fryer?
For the perfect consistency – crispy toast and tender egg – cook the egg toast at 200°C for about 5 minutes. However, be vigilant and monitor the process closely to avoid overcooking, especially since eggs can transition from perfectly runny to overly firm in a matter of moments. Also, remember that air fryers can vary in intensity and heat distribution, so you may need to make minor adjustments of cooking time or temperature based on your specific air fryer model and its specifications.

Egg and toast in air fryer – an easy and quick meal

When you picture the ideal breakfast, perhaps you think of something crispy, warm, and filled with flavour. Enter the air fryer egg on toast. The air fryer transforms ordinary egg and toast into a culinary marvel with its quick and easy cooking technique. The egg remains tender and creamy, while the toast gets a delicious crunch around the edges. When you take a bite, you meet a crispy crust, followed by soft, pillowy bread, and finally, the delicate texture of the egg.

A delightful shield of melted mozzarella

The mozzarella in this recipe is not just a mere addition but a star in its own right. When the cheese meets the heat of the air fryer, it melts into a rich, gooey blanket that encapsulates the egg and toast. The melted cheese adds a delicious creaminess, complementing the soft centre of the bread and the silkiness of the egg. It is like adding a luxurious robe to an already stunning outfit – turning the ordinary into extraordinary.

Serve with fresh chives, crisp radishes, and sharp mustard

Serve your air fryer egg toast with a few subtle additions to make it even more enjoyable. Fresh chives add a delicate oniony flavour with a hint of garlic. The crispness of the radishes introduces a refreshing, peppery bite contrasting beautifully with the soft warmth of the egg toast. Lastly, the sharpness of Dijon mustard elevates the whole dish by adding a spicy kick and balancing the richness of the mozzarella. Together, these three additions transform the air fryer egg toast into a well-rounded meal.

Make it your own

While this recipe is delectable as it is, there is always room for a personal touch. You can sprinkle some crushed red pepper for an added kick or lay thin slices of avocado on top for a creamy, fresh twist. For meat lovers, a slice of crispy bacon or smoky ham can be a delicious addition. If you are leaning towards the sweeter side, consider a drizzle of maple syrup or honey. The possibilities are endless, so let your palate be your guide.
