Looking for a quick and satisfying breakfast? **Air Fryer Egg-in-a-Hole Toast** combines crispy golden bread with a perfectly cooked egg and takes about 15 minutes from start to finish. It’s simple enough for a busy morning but can easily be customized with your favorite toppings.
For one serving, you need **1 slice of bread, 1 large egg, salt, and black pepper**, plus a little butter or olive oil if desired. Optional toppings include avocado, shredded cheese, fresh herbs, red pepper flakes, bacon, ham, or tomatoes.
Cut a hole in the center of the bread using a cookie cutter or small glass, keeping the cut-out piece. Preheat the air fryer to **180°C (350°F)** for about two minutes. Place the bread in the basket, lightly brush it with butter or oil if you like, then carefully crack the egg into the opening. Season with salt and pepper.
Air fry for **6–8 minutes**, depending on your preferred egg consistency. Around six minutes gives you a soft, runny yolk, seven minutes creates a jammy center, while eight minutes produces a fully cooked yolk. Since air fryers vary, keep an eye on the egg as it cooks.
Carefully remove the toast and serve immediately while it’s hot and crispy. Add your favorite toppings for extra flavor. The original recipe notes, **“Use thick-cut bread to help hold the egg in place,”** which can make the toast easier to prepare. You can also toast the bread cut-out alongside it for a crispy extra bite.
With only a few everyday ingredients and minimal preparation, this breakfast proves that homemade food can be both quick and delicious. Whether you keep it classic or add cheese, avocado, herbs, or bacon, this egg-in-a-hole toast is an easy meal worth making again.
