Ingredients for This Air Fryer Egg Toast Recipe

As mentioned, you only need a few ingredients for this easy air fryer eggs and toast recipe. The obvious: eggs, bread, and seasonings. We often use simple seasonings like salt and pepper. But you can shake thinks up (haha…see what I did there?!) and use Italian seasoning, Cajun seasoning, red pepper flakes, cayenne pepper, or whatever seasonings you often grab to jazz up any other easy breakfast recipe.

You can use pretty much any types of bread you want for this air fryer breakfast – white or wheat, whole-grain bread, multigrain, or Keto bread in the air fryer basket. One of our favorite bread brands is Dave’s Killer Bread because we love the grains and nuts.

How to Prepare Air Fryer Egg on Toast

For this quick breakfast, just pop a slice of bread. In the middle of the bread, crack an egg. The egg should land on the center of the bread. Try to really get the egg in the center as it sometimes will slide over toward the edge.

Add seasonings to taste over the top of your egg and piece of bread.

Turn on the air fryer and set the cooking temperature for 400 degrees. The time is going to be between 8-8 minutes, depending on how much of a runny egg you want to have on top of the bread. Some people really prefer a runny yolk on this air fryer toast with the yolk running down sides of the bread. Others might want to go a few extra minutes for a perfectly cooked egg that is set with little jiggle. I prefer to cook my egg toast at 8 minutes for an egg that is more solid.

The first time you make this simple recipe, you may have to adjust the cook time and make note of the time. This way, you will know for next time the number of minutes that you need for cooking eggs to your satisfaction.

When the bread slice is a nice golden brown and the egg yolks and egg whites are to your liking, this easy air fryer recipe is ready!
