Air Fryer Egg in a Hole
My kids call this "egg toast" and ask for it every weekend. The air fryer actually works better than a skillet here - you don't have to flip anything and the bread gets crispy all around.
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 2 slices whole grain bread
- Sea salt and black pepper
- Canola oil spray
Instructions
- Spray air fryer basket with canola oil.
- Press glass or cookie cutter into bread slice to create well in center.
- Press down bottom of well to flatten.
- Crack egg into well (some white will overflow onto bread).
- Season with salt and pepper.
- Air fry at 340F for 8 minutes for runny yolk with set whites.
- Optional: Add shredded cheese at 7 minutes.
- Use spatula to carefully remove from basket.
- For second serving, repeat process or cook both simultaneously if basket allows.
- Note: For fully cooked yolk, air fry at 330F for 10 minutes.
Notes
- ~7 minutes at 340F: runny yolk, whites still a bit loose
- ~8 minutes at 340F: runny yolk, whites fully set (my go-to)
- ~9 minutes at 330F: jammy yolk, set whites
- ~10 minutes at 330F: fully cooked through
