1-Getting started with this recipe: preheating your air fryer, which brings us to the first step. Begin by spraying the air fryer basket with cooking spray and placing the bread slices inside, just like in the directions provided. This sets the stage for a quick cook that mirrors the efficiency of outdoor grilling techniques.

2-Next, use a glass to make an indent in the center of each bread slice, then gently press it down with your fingers. Crack one egg into each indent, letting some egg white overflow if needed, and season with salt and pepper. For the basic version, cook at 340°F for 8 minutes, and if you're adding cheese, sprinkle it on in the last minute.

3-Once done, remove the toast with a spatula and serve immediately. This method takes only about 2 minutes of prep and 8 minutes of cooking, totaling under 10 minutes, making it perfect for busy mornings. It's a straightforward process that results in crispy toast with fully cooked egg whites and yolks tailored to your liking.
