Air Fryer Egg & Cheese Toast

This easy air fryer egg and cheese toast is the ultimate breakfast shortcut—crispy, cheesy, and ready in under 10 minutes. A slice of bread gets a quick makeover with a pressed-in well, a cracked egg, a sprinkle of melty mozzarella, and a few minutes in the air fryer.

Ingredients

  • 1 slice white bread
  • 1 egg
  • 3 tbsp shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Sesame seeds for topping
  • Syrup for serving

Instructions

  • Pop a slice of white bread into your air fryer basket—no need to pre-toast.
  • Use the back of a spoon to gently press down the center of the bread, creating a little well for the egg to sit in.
  • Brush or drizzle a bit of olive oil over the surface of the bread, especially the edges. It helps things crisp up nicely.
  • Carefully crack an egg into that well. Go slow here—it’s a little delicate, but totally doable.
  • Sprinkle a generous handful of shredded mozzarella over the top. Don’t worry if some lands on the edges—it just makes it extra tasty.
  • Air fry at 175°C (or 350°F) for around 7 minutes. Start checking at the 5-minute mark. Want a runny yolk? Pull it at 7. Prefer it more set? Let it go up to 10 minutes.
  • Once it’s done, sprinkle over some sesame seeds and a pinch of salt for a little crunch and flavor boost.
  • Serve it warm and don’t be shy about adding a little drizzle of maple syrup or honey on the side—it hits that sweet and savory combo just right.
