1–2 slices of bread (thick sandwich bread works best)

1–2 eggs

1–2 tsp butter or olive oil
-
Salt & pepper, to taste
-
Optional toppings: shredded cheese, chopped chives, cooked bacon bits, avocado, hot sauce
Instructions
-
Prep the bread:

Lightly butter one or both sides of the bread.

Use a spoon or glass to press down or cut out a circle or square in the center, leaving a border to hold the egg.
-
-
Place in air fryer:
-
Put the bread slice in the air fryer basket.
-
Crack an egg into the center well. (Tip: If the bread hole is too small, the egg may spill over — press the center more or make a larger hole.)

Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and any desired toppings like shredded cheese or herbs.
-
-
Air fry:

For fully set whites, you can add 1 extra minute.
